Carefully Prepare The Mortar Mixture It Will Determine The Outcome Of Your Tile Installation
Any type of mortar  Mixture that you use will dry quickly, so only Mixture up  the amount you will be spreading in a short period of time.

You can  always make more  as needed. This will help guard against waste or a  mortar Mixture that is too stiff to work with effectively. You want a  smooth even coat of adhesive  when laying a floor to prevent creating  a floor that is uneven when it is finished.

Do Not Mixture More Than You Need Will  For The Next 30 Min To 1 Hour
Figure out how many tiles you will be putting down in 30 minutes and  Mixture just enough mortar Mixture for that amount.

Do not forget that the air temperature  will affect how quickly your mixture dris, but you can always  Mixture more along the plan.


Normally A Sub-floor Is Necessary Under The New Tile Flooring
If the existing  floor is very odd, you will want to put extra effort in  to the preparation of the floor prior to laying the tile. 

It is  possible to  fill large discrepancies with mortar Mixture, but in most cases this should  not be necessary.If the are serious  issues a new sub-floor is the best option before installing the tiles.

Avoid Losing Money. Get Knowledge If You Want To Lay Tiles By Yourself
Laying a floor tile is not an simple project and if you are a beginner, get  familiar, talk to experts, and take your time learning how to do it. 

Ask what type of mortar Mixture is  recommended for the type  of conditions and flooring you have  chosen. Taking your time to do enough research will result in a  better finished product.
