Ceramic tile project -- and there are a few issues... years ago I did some ceramic tile but the stuff then was thin and flat. Now I'm feeling out of date. The tile I have now is 4/10 inch thick (maximum) with a slight texture on the front surface and a grippy crosshatch pattern on the back side. Scoring and breaking seems fairly unreliable. What success rate should I be seeing? Also the serrated trowels they sell now have big square notches. I'm doing a wall so these square-notch trowels seem like a bad idea. Why the switch to square notches? Any hints? Thanks.
