Apply Thinset & Back Butter Tiles

part of the wall covered in things in but also these grooves covered in thin set any areas that has this light transparent area might meet a once over there I feel comfortable with that now the next part is one of the most important parts in setting a tile typically if you start slapping the stuff on what it'll do is because of how uneven thus wall is and different pockets that are inside of this tile piece is you'll create these air pockets so what that means is over time they'll be stronger and weaker sections of this tile and it will pop off very annoying fixable but very annoying so to help minimize that there's a process called back buttering and what you do is you put a little chunk of thin-set on top and you scrape it covering the entire piece now before i cover it entirely i want to show you this typically tile has these little pockets grooves with that are in set or indented inside and that's the area that's basically met for the thinset to sit in what you want to do put a small amount and just scrape it off especially essentially your buttering toast once you get it on and it looks just like that nothing heavy nothing crazy not even a sixteenth on there very light then you can start applying it here and what you want to do is give it a little wiggle just to allow all the parts to actually settle in excess will get squeezed down will take all the little spacers put them in place and now we're ready to put the next set of tiles in line with it well uh so it's important to note here that the amount of thin-set that I put on are kind of in small chunks you don't wanna start covering a huge surface area and then taking your time to get to it because the things that might dry and it won't be good so just do small sections at a time in this situation it was a foot and a half by the height of the top piece these small little blocks works the best the tile doesn't dry and you have per opportunity to set them safely it's curly hey I tell you don't to learn how to Kyle I don't understand what you're just so good at it yeah you're right I am I am you're right when you're right you're right I'll just do it I'll just do it now your pluck it make it more fun for me you go have fun well that is it for me this week I hope you guys like this video I hope you found it helpful to any degree if you're a professional tile guy I know you're gonna tell me these weird comments below let me urge all guy from 4050 years been chef all right we're just teaching people how to…
