Since the adhesive mortar quickly hardens, the surface area treated with the adhesive should not exceed 1 m².

Tile coated with glue is applied tightly to the wall. The tile is installed in horizontal rows, starting from the second. Only after the started lane has ended can you move on to the next. The level should check the evenness of the resulting rows. Special crosses will help to make even seams between the tiles.
