To begin, you should do one test tile to ensure that the consistency of the mortar is appropriate. Put the first test tile onto the thin-set bed. Lay the tile flat and then with mild pressure, slide the tile 1/4 inch back against the thin-set ridges, then slide it back into place.o start planning the layout of your tile, you must first find the center point of the room. To do this, measure the four walls in the room and find their midpoints. Then, snap two chalk lines. One from the midpoints of two opposite walls and another from the midpoints of the other two walls.
Steps: 1. Mark the center of the wall. Measure the distance between the countertop and the bottom of the cabinet and subtract 1/4 inch for the bottom grout line. Mark a tile with this measurement. 2. Use a dry tile cutter to cut the tiles to size. Set the tile in the cutter and adjust it to the desired measurement.. Starting in the center, use a putty knife to apply just enough tile mastic to attach one tile to the wall. Texture it with a notched trowel to create a surface for proper adhesion. Set the tile into place and move it around slightly before allowing it to come to its final position.
