Blog :: so the thinset will stick

so the thinset will stick

Now that I have the tiles cut to fit, I mix up my thinset. Once I have it mixed I leave it for about 10 minutes, this lets the chemicals react. I take this time to sweep the area to be tiled, I want all dirt off the floor so the thinset will stick.

   

Tomorrow, setting the tiles.

Shawn
