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.
1 If you notice a skin forming on top of the thinset mortar or tile mastic, do not install tiles over it. 2  Scrape it off using a paint scraper and apply fresh mortar before continuing. 3  Ceramic tiles can be applied to nearly any surface, including both painted and unfinished drywall. You can test your dry fit pattern by making a layout stick, which can be made from any straight and level piece of spare wood. 2  Lay the tiles on a floor and mark the layout stick with a pencil at the joints between tiles. 3  Use the layout stick to see how the tiles fit on the wall.
