people like this is what gives installers a bad rep. doing it so wrong

[ponch37300]

WOW! I have installed thousands of feet of tile and just watched a couple of these "Expert Village" videos and they all give people really bad advice. If you would like to learn about tiling buy yourself a copy of the National Tile Contractors Association handbook and it will tell you how the pros do it. This guy needs to get himself a copy before showing people how to do a tile install that is sure to fail.

a degree in architecture....yeah right !

how do these useless DIY videos get out here ?

they so mislead people and wind up hurting some poor person seeking real advice.

You were using thinset, not mastic. There is a difference. Another thing, you do need to press the tiles into the thinset. Maybe you should mix up a batch of cookies instead of trying to tile something.

yeah man. You say you hav been in the construction business for 10 years. Doesn`t look like it. first time you have seen a tile?

How about measuring befor laying so it`s the exact same lenght on both sides, and maybe doing the whole thing at once.

A few comments for the "expert" in this video:

1) never mix thinset in a cooking bowl (use a large plastic can)

2) never use a container to mix your thinset that your notched trowell can barely fit in (see #1)

3) back-buttering the tile would be quicker/less messy than what you did

4) too many thin/bare areas prior to setting tile leads to problems down the road

5) don't use your kitchen sink for cement based product cleanup (unless you love home improvment)

[stonesample]

I am pretty sure backbuttering would be required to validate most tile warranties too?
