Is there a machine that applies ceramic tile adhesive?

i have a big job to do and wondered if there was a machine that applies adhesive so you can just lay the tiles into it as you follow behind the machine which someone is opperating the machine leaves a correct amount of adhesive for you to lay evenly? some one said they seen one in opperation but didnt know much about itIs there a machine that applies ceramic tile adhesive?
Never heard of a machine. You could always pay a trained labourer to place the adhesive. Problem with technology is, you could certainly make such a machine... but technology has a tendancy to fail at the most critical time.... and with all that adhesive down ahead of you.... while you are having difficulty because the floor is out of square .. all that adhesive is going green... The machine won't be clever technology.. it'll be like a plasterers trowelling machine.. so if it were reasonable to use for tiling.. it would have been used for years.. don't you think? Anyway, I've never seen one.Is there a machine that applies ceramic tile adhesive?
No. It would put too much adhesive down too fast. There is a timing art to tiling, and unless you had several people laying tile, a machine is too fast. There is also a feel for doing this, and moisture content, humidity, etc. are factors you would lose the feel of. Not to mention too many people getting in each others way, and the resultant look of the tile. Like many chefs in the kitchen, cooking the same dish without tasting it. Bad idea.
I never heared of such a thing , so i guess you got a pretty good idea there , good product if produced


but for adhesive i think the only thing to apply adhesive is the simple plan old trowel
If there is then I havent heard of it. Mind you I have nothing whatever to do with the tiling industry so what do I know.
not exactly a machine, it is called a trowel - the type with notches down the edge, cover an area about two square yards aprox and fit on the tiles, good luck and keep them level, in line and flat. (Shiny side out)
