Do You BackButter Your Tile?

So I in no way think that I know even close to all there is to know about tile.
What I can say is I mainly do kitchens and bathrooms.
More bathrooms than kitchens.
Mostly showers .
Knock on wood !
I have never had a call back .
I have done build ups where I do a liner and a mud base pan, I have also used wedi, and hydroblock, systems.
As showers go I prefer a pre maid pan, even though I make more money doing tile pans.
I often have custom made pans.
I will not use hardi backer.
I prefer cement board .
I believe prep is the most important part !
It will make or break the job !
Just like bodywork for a paint job on a car !
Tile is not really that difficult to do.
Yes like anything there are tricks, and with time and experience you get better.
YouTube can be good and bad !
I hope you job turns out awesome !
