The first step to tiling a shower floor is to plan the layout. Our Part 1 video shows step-by-step how to do this

Once the layout is established, set the Wedi drain cover using Wedi Joint Sealant or thin-set mortar.

Then mix modified thin-set according to the directions. For this project we used Ardex X77 modified thin-set mortar. Ardex X5 is also a good option.

It's very important that the thin-set mortar have the right consistency. Use measuring buckets to achieve this and a good mixing tool. We used Milwaukee's cordless Mud Mixer with a 9.0 Ah battery (https://amzn.to/2DPoiEX)

Equally important is the correct trowel size. Our tiles were 1/4" thick and we used a 1/4" x 1/4" square notched trowel.

Also, apply the thin-set such that all the trowel ridges face the same direction.

Then set the tiles into the thin-set but don't tamp them down until all the grout joints are evenly aligned.

Use a rubber grout float to tamp the tiles then clean the top of the tile with a damp sponge. https://amzn.to/2DDrh70
