1. Make sure the surface you are tiling is flat as possible and free from greasy substances

2. Use a datum line to make sure your work will be neat and straight

3. Apply tiles to adhesive as soon as possible, so adhesive to does not dry at all before tiling

4. Use spacers to create the perfect grout line

5. Make sure the tiles are coming to full contact with all the adhesive under them

6. Store the tiles in a cool place out of sunlight before tiling, for this affects the way theye stick to your adhesive

7. Mix the adhesive very thoroughly prior to putting down
