The Tool Barn


Placing the Tile

Start at the edge and work your way down the sill. When pushing the tile against the adhesive, use a slight twisting motion in order to set the tile firmly in the adhesive.  If you are using spacers, now is the time to set the spacers on the outside edge of the tile in order to work on the next row of tiles.

After all of the tiles have been placed and the adhesive has setup a bit, clean the adhesive from between the tiles and from their faces.  A toothpick is a great tool for this.  Allow the adhesive to setup overnight before grouting the tile
