Tile on wall is crooked.

If a wall tile is uneven the mastic holding it in place was not spread properly. Use tile spacers if necessary to keep the tile lines straight in the layout. Makes a great back scratcher too. In addition if you have to install wall tiles on drywall you should prepare the surface thoroughly.

Spread the mortar with the flat edge of the trowel then groove. If you ve got a ceramic tile wall or floor and one or more of the tiles is askew either crooked alongside the other tiles or raised out of the tile surface on one edge it means it wasn t installed right to begin with. So if you ve tiled from a straight right angle and you re just reaching the odd shaped spaces between your last row of tiles and your crooked wall you can use the tool to mark your final row of tiles so that when you cut them they will fit right into the irregular shaped spaces between your final row of tiles and the slanting wall. Make sure the walls are straight and level without any irregularities or residues otherwise the tiles won t stick to walls or you could end up with a crooked wall.

Much faster than individual spacers. Just slide the spacer right left a little so it can be removed when tiles are just setting up. You don t have to live with it. You can tile over it but it needs to be smooth to prevent your new tiles from laying crooked.

Use it on the perimeters where you have installed backerboard over drywall. If you re setting tile you ve got to have one sold at home centers. If you had to remove pre existing tile or fix holes and cracks there are likely bumps in the wall. Spread thinset mortar on the bottom center of the wall.

When the setting bed is raised over the existing wall surface the turned edge covers the thickness of the setting bed. Quite often the reason for uneven tiles is an uneven layer of thinset mortar holding tiles on the floor. Radius trim is made so its rounded lip turns a right angled corner at the edge of the tile.
