Looks very professional! Sign writing is the way forward as people notice your van when there's something written on it. Be sure to have a nice looking clean van too, it makes customers believe that you're very much the professional you claim to be.

I cant see how it could achieve a solid bed, when it pulls the tile up from the bed to level it. Good idea in theory but not for me.

I don' think fellas DON'T want to learn new ideas, I think that sometimes they either don't know of relevant progressions or they feel it just easier to stick with what they know.

It is'nt all that important, just go with whatever you are comfortable with. Personally i use the flat edge first and then comb through with the serrated edge. I find that this method leaves less droppings when doing walls.

Use them as spacers....... very handy on tiles that are of slight size variation. Use normal spacers but now and again you may need to use one of the wedges just to get things back in order!
