    Hi all,

    Looking to tile a very small bathroom splashback area (approx 400x300mm) with two sheets of mosaic tiles.

    What’s the recommended tile adhesive depth and notched trowel shape/size would anyone know?

    From a little research it appears 6mm square notch to give 3mm bed depth seems about right?

    Cheers

    That's fine, don't over think it. Try avoid squeeze out or at least wipe with a sponge before it sets. As it week show through your grout if it sets.

    Good advice by LM as usual. In addition, use adhesive that will match your chosen grout, obviously it won’t be a perfect match but basically use a light or dark adhesive based on your favoured grout colour.
