What happens here

After placing each tile, use a rubber float to gently tap and press down on its surface. This action helps to fully embed the tile into the thin-set mortar, ensuring complete contact between the tile and the adhesive, removing any trapped air, and creating a perfectly level surface. Apply even pressure across the entire tile.

Goal: Ensure proper tile adhesion and a level surface.
