Application
Stir the mixture well once more. Spread mortar using the flat side of trowel, applying even pressure, then comb the surface with the trowel’s notched side to establish an even setting bed. Spread only 2 enough mortar to set 5 square feet (.46 m) of tile at a time. Install tiles with a firm slightly twisting motion to promote proper insertion (embedding) into themortar. Use care to maintain straight and uniform grout lines. Spacers are recommended to maintain uniform grout lines. Remove any excess mortar on tile with a clean damp cloth within 5 minutes.
