I have about 500 12x12x3/8 tile to place on cement in our new
house. I want to place the tile touching each other without spacers. Can I realistically do this and grout the top joint where I
can or do I need a minimum spacer between each tile?
Thanks for your thoughts.

help with a partially unbonded tile...
Hi,
I removed tile from a terazzo floor and am putting new tile down. I bought the thinset with latex additive in the powder and have been mixing it with water. There were two versions of plymer modified thinset to choose from and I bought the best one they offered. I can post the brand and type once I get home tonight. But it's too late to change now. I have about half of the uncut tiles in now. We have been walking on the tiles after 24 hours since we need access to the kitchen, etc. No grout is in yet.
************** NEED ADVICE HERE **********************
The only real problem I have so far is one batch of thinset was probably mixed too dry, and I have two tiles in that area which have an unbonded corner. I have to decide whether to try to fix it in place by working thinset under the tile around the edges, or break and remove the tile, scrape the thinset and replace with a new tile. I would rather not remove the tile if there is a decent chance of getting it set good enough. The hollow sound is limited to one corner, and the tiles don't pull up by hand.Read More
