How to back butter a tile

SUBSCRIBE Learn how tile the right way
Back buttering tiles during the installation process is always a good idea. When a tile is back buttered with thinset it makes it easier to achieve the recommended coverage of thinset when the tile is placed into the combed bed of thinset. It is always desirable to achieve as close to 100% coverage of thinset as possible, back buttering the tile facilitates this goal. The process is quite simple, one method I use is to place a small amount of thinset in the middle of the tile back, and then using the flat side of the trowel, spread the thinset to give a thin even coat on the entire surface of the back of the tile, and then immediately set the tile.
