Tile setters apply tile to floors, walls, ceilings, and countertops. Tile setters use cement mortar to set tile. They nail a support of metal mesh to the area to be tiled. They use a trowel to apply the first layer, or scratch coat, of mortar onto the metal screen. They scratch the surface with a small rake-like tool, and let it dry. Tile setters apply another coat of mortar to level the surface. They apply mortar to the back of tiles and position tiles on the surface.
