Tim,
The place to find your answer is Ask the Tile Man.com or similar. In that web site you will find help on every aspect of your job. Be sure to search before you ask. The Tileman gets a little upset when he has to answer a Q that he has already addressed. This guy has saved me tons of extra labor and callbacks.

Funny you mentioned another site. I posted it on the John Bridge Tile forum and it was answered in roughly 5 minutes by a by a moderator.
