OK, i did half of my garage yesterday. its looking pretty good, but i noticed that after spreading about 1/4 of the garage all the nubs on my vct trowel had worn down.
i only had the one trowel so i continued on. i think i might have spread the glue too thin now because there are 2 tiles (that i can see) the if i push down on them i can see every so slightly a little bit (less than a 1/64th) of movement.


i guess i will just have to see how it holds up and replace any failing tiles down the road. i'm off to HD now to buy a few more trowels to do the other half of the garage now

could be a lesson i learned for the next guy....buy 4 trowels.
