Full back coverage may vary depending on the consistency of the adhesive, the angle of inclination of the notched trowel and the
flatness of the substrate.If full back coverage is not achieved, remove the tile and apply new adhesive paying attention to the
consistency of the Thin set and its application. In case of large format tiles 12” x 12” and larger is recommended to double spread
each tile before laying them.
