@thattilechick: Listen I know tiling seems really difficult. But I promise you it’s not if you follow these key steps. Proper troweling techniques like burning in your thinset to the back of your tile and the substrate is key for achieving a good bond. Directional troweling helps the air pockets between your thinset ridges collapse more easily when installing your tile leading to better thinset coverage And finally making sure to properly embed your tile into the mortar is key, make sure you aren’t lightly placing the tile it truly isn’t enough. Follow these key steps and your tile installation will be built to LAST! #DIY #tile #shower #howtotiktok
So you posted the guy who is doing his best with the tools he has available to criticize him, nice 👌🏽

The guy slapping it down is correct as well just not well done or the proper tools. It’s the old fashioned technique. he’s putting a near dry mortar then a mortar slurry and a mortar mix with additive

The guy was doing what we call a live set. when this method is done properly it is superior to anything your doing today. Was recently done at the world trade center.

The mirror guys put a few blobs of silicon on massive mirrors and it will be there forever. If the wall moves doesn’t matter how much glue you put.
