This is the best video I've viewed on what trowel to chose for the job. You presented the facts in clear language and backed it up with clear video. Thank you, sir.
I am just starting a DIY tile project and need to select the correct sized trowel for the 12 x 24" tile I purchased. Your video provided exactly the help and guidance I required. Well done, concise and to the point. Much appreciated. Thank you very much and I look forward to other tile videos from you.
Great demonstration! A real confidence builder. If in doubt, we can re-create the experiment on the job with the exact tile and thinset being used to make sure we’re getting adequate coverage. You are a TERRIFIC instructor of a fascinating subject. Thanks!
I'm doing some tiling for the first time on Friday. I'm putting some 4" by 12" tiles on a wall. I have a couple of trowels, a 6mm x 6mm and a 10mm x 10mm. After watching your demonstration I think the 6mm will work but I'll be sure to check and step up to the 10mm if not! Thank you for sharing this information.
@bejais Great! But it wasn't easy. I would recommend giving it more then 24 hours to set before walking on it. I had to reset two tiles I walked on after 14 hours.
I'm getting ready to do a room in my house, it was recommended to use a 1/2 ×1/2 and I didn't understand why. now I do thank you very much for explaining clearly and easily
Great Sal. Thanks. So if using the same size trowel on the floor, would you just back butter the tile as well? I guess they don't come much bigger than 1/2 inch so for bigger tiles on walls maybe the same the floor and back butter
Hey Sal, thank you for all of your videos. You've helped me finish two tiling projects in no time at all! I was wondering if back buttering changes the trowel size you should use?
for the majority of back buttering you just need a thin even coat so just use the flat side of the notched trowel you are already using on the project, no need to dirt up another trowel
Two questions. When using 2x4 mosaic tile, would 1/4 trowel be too large? For a backsplash on a textured wall is is necessary to smooth the wall? Florida walls are not a smooth drywall, they have a slight texture. Thank you for your videos, I have learned a lot. Just finished a travertine backsplash in my laundry room, your videos made it go smoothly.
Wall should be smoothed and a 1/4" trowel may not be too big if the tile is thick enough. The goal is to get at least 80% coverage, if you can do that with a smaller trowel then use it.
I'm installing 6"x12" marble tiles on a wall as a fireplace surround. Going by size I was going to use a 1/4-Inch by 3/8-Inch trowel but each tile weighs slightly less than 3 pounds. Should I step up to the 1/2". And which for the floor in front of the firebox? I'll be using Mapai LFT mortar.
Excellent tutorial - exactly what I needed as i am about to lay some 11" x 11" tiles and wasn't sure which size of trowel to buy. Btw- I think you've really honed your presentation style. Concise - accurate - understandable. Some people film great vids only for them to be let down by their commentary which makes it really difficult to follow. Brava !
Great demonstration and explanation of trowel selection! What size of trowel is needed for applying Thisset on plywood for laying 1/4" Hardi Backer Board?
Sal, Sorry to be a pest but one more question for now! I know I tape and thinset over seams but should I thinset over each screw to seal and seal around countertop (Hardi-Backer) and wall? Thank you!
On the 1/4x1/4 qith 12x12 couldn't u avoid the voids by doing back butter or if needed a directional trowel on back of tile too? Also what do you prefer to do in jobs that are utilizing 3 different sizes of tile on same floor...6x6, 12x12, 20x20?
@@SalDiBlasi I recall watching a video you did saying back buttering necessary in shower surround. So does your comment here mean; back butter with flat trowel and notch trowel the wall? thanks.
Thank you for your great videos, Sal. I have a question about trowel selection. I'm remodeling my shower and went to bare studs. I did my best to shim the studs and make them as plum, level, and straight. I hung up my Durock then and water proofed the walls. However, I still see a small 1/16 gap from side to side. Can I go with a large trowel to bring the tiles to the same level. I intend to use T- locks for leveling. Thanks, Frank
Hi Sal, I'm going to be installing 6x36" plank tiles using the RLS clips. Initially I was going to use a 1/4"x3/8" trowel, but I noticed that the bottom of the clips have a little bit of height to them. Would you recommend upping the size to 1/2" trowel?
You should be using a 1/2" trowel regardless if you use the clips or not. A 1/4x1/2x1/4 U-notch is the one i like the most, but 1/2x1/2x1/2 wil also work.
Hi Sal. I'm in the middle of my tiling project. Right now I'm installing 12x24 tiles with a 1/2" trowel. I've checked a few random tiles and I get complete and perfect coverage. The problem I'm facing is squeezeout through the grout lines. How do I prevent the thinset from doing this? Thanks, John from Andover
Other way, put your tile down push the two tile together so the mortar between will going out wipe it and separate your two tile the mortar left between will going down automatically by suction and clean the top of your tile with sponge and water...
Hey Sal Great info, I’m using on the floor thassos white marble basketweave 1x2 in. Mosiac tile with 1/2 inch dots and 3/8 inch thick do I use 1/4 inch or 1/4 x 3/8 inch trowel .
@@SalDiBlasi thank you so much I’ve been doing kitchens and bathrooms for almost 40 years and but never did any marble work I always sub contract but your videos are so friggen good that I just couldn’t resist doing this my self God bless
Great video! Can you suggest what I start with for long wood plank tiles? The tiles are 6x36 I'm thinking of getting a 1/4 x 3/8 and a 1/2 x 1/2. The tiles are supposedly very high quality Italian porcelain.
12x24 tile with a 1/2 inch trowel what do you use for small border tile in between without creating a mess between the joints while maintaining the same level?
I love the answer....I am a 3rd generation Tile mechanic for over 22 years and it took a lot to get where I am now. I see other mechanics on TH-cam just throwing trade secrets around like its no big deal. I am like you in regards to giving info to others but when certain questions come about I will not spill the answer out. If everyone keeps giving out our secrets eventually we will have nothing left. Ever since hardy board / cement boards were discovered every carpenter or homeowner thinks they can use this on their floors intend of a proper mud job. Then they also think this makes them a Tile guy. Keep up the good work.
This was a demonstration of how trowel size will affect thinset coverage of the tile, back buttering will improve transfer but not necessarily coverage.
Just so you know Sal, your videos have had a huge impact on the quality of my tile jobs and my confidence taking on new projects. I used your technique from this video to select the right trowel. Achieved about 80% on first check but then remembered to back butter! 100%! Thanks for sharing your knowledge Sal!
Sal love your video. Try using a pieces of glass to show how air gaps are filled and the percentages allowable per industry standards. Also, add swirling your mortar should never be done. It will leave to many air gaps which will cause failure. And lastly, mortar application should always be applied in the straight line fashion. Again, love your video!!
most of what ive learned with regards to tiling has been from your videos Sal. - thanks a million mate all your vids have definitely helped me to elevate my tiling to an extermely high standard. I'm still working on reducing mess everywhere though !! Best wishes Eddie (UK)
Im having a hard time understanding why the medium tile had voids... Is it bowed? Or its because it has those squares on the back of it? And you need to coat more cubic space...? (to fill the voids)

Thanks for the good information here. I would, however, suggest that you try and get your thoughts in order a bit more for future videos. There are significant pauses while you think of what you want to say next and the effect is that you're not as knowledgeable about your topic. It can also frustrate your viewers since it wastes their time! Here's hoping you're able to make your presentations sound smoother and more professional as you build your channel. Good luck!
interesting video. I'll be tiling my first room soon and need to buy everything. Most likely 12"x12" tiles so I'll be looking at the last tool you used. My floor slopes a bit towards a drain and a few tiles wobble on the floor due to unevenness, but I'm hoping they'll sit nice once stuff is on the floor.
Hey Sal, I have the same tile as Hooahayes. In this video at the very end, you actually did say what trowel to use for a 12 x 24 tile, but I really could understand what you said. It kind of sounded like you said use a 1/2" and something. THANKS SAL!!!

for the majority of back buttering you just need a thin even coat so just use the flat side of the notched trowel you are already using on the project, no need to dirt up another trowel
Informative video. When doing sheet mosaic do you choose your trowel by the size of the sheet or the size of each individual tile? Squeeze out sucks.

Are you talking about a shower?
Very instructive thank you!
great demo thanks for the info
Makes perfect sense. Thank you
Do you ever not use a notch trowel and just back butter? Curious
No, a trowel is a gauge to meter out the correct amount of mortar.
th-cam.com/video/RaJzwAGbk5g/w-d-xo.html
On the 1/4x1/4 qith 12x12 couldn't u avoid the voids by doing back butter or if needed a directional trowel on back of tile too?
Also what do you prefer to do in jobs that are utilizing 3 different sizes of tile on same floor...6x6, 12x12, 20x20?
Is the yellow base a must for the marbles ?
Why would the same tile cut into smaller size worked OK with the second one but not when it's larger?
Surface area of the tile. th-cam.com/video/w5RqzOAn_tc/w-d-xo.html
Great video. Thanks!
Do you change to a smaller trowel if back buttering?
Usually not if you are flat troweling the back of the tile.
@@SalDiBlasi I recall watching a video you did saying back buttering necessary in shower surround. So does your comment here mean; back butter with flat trowel and notch trowel the wall? thanks.
@@tserevenad Here is the thing, you want coverage, transfer and a good bond, how you get there doesn't really matter as long as you have all three.

What size do you use for a 2x2 mosaic marble honed and sheet is 10x12 and .38 thick ? Also, do you have to seal honed marble? Thanks
Thank for the great info. For wall tiles 12x12 do you "back butter" tile? say for a shower.

If it is only a 1/16" I think you will be fine if you use a large notched trowel.
Sal, quick question, what size trowel for the odd size of 16x16"? thinking 1/2 x 1/2", good?
👍👌
Sal, cant seem to find the recommended trowel size for a 4x8 travertine wall tile. Would you do 1/4x3/8 or 1/4 x1/4
1/4x3/8 might be a bit big try the 1/4 x1/4 if you get good coverage then you are good to go.
Hi Sal, I'm going to be installing 6x36" plank tiles using the RLS clips. Initially I was going to use a 1/4"x3/8" trowel, but I noticed that the bottom of the clips have a little bit of height to them. Would you recommend upping the size to 1/2" trowel?

That's great Sal. How do you select a good quality trowel?
Stick with a brand name.
Thanks.
Do you test this everytime you do tile, or you already have an eye and know what size trowel to use?
How could it hurt to test every time, in fact you test several times during the job.
Hi Sal.
I'm in the middle of my tiling project. Right now I'm installing 12x24 tiles with a 1/2" trowel. I've checked a few random tiles and I get complete and perfect coverage. The problem I'm facing is squeezeout through the grout lines. How do I prevent the thinset from doing this?
Thanks,
John from Andover
+EthylOH It happens, but can be greatly reduced by careful placement and racking the thinset nearvthe edge of the tile before placement
Other way, put your tile down push the two tile together so the mortar between will going out wipe it and separate your two tile the mortar left between will going down automatically by suction and clean the top of your tile with sponge and water...
6"x24", is the best way to just do a test as you have done here? Does using tile leveling clamps make much difference?
+Jason Taylor Try a 1/2"x1/2" Square notch trowel and back butter the tiles, that is what i do.
Choose even bigger notched trowel and especially round notch and you don't need to back butter those tiles at all.
Good afternoon Sal, installing marble(12"×24") over chipboard with no grout lines. Do I need backerboard?
You need to remove the chipboard and use a grout line. Unless the chip board is OSB.

Fix the wall first.
