Just so you know - you should be able to lay your tile out on any floor with no thinset and they should lay flat and you should be able to walk on them. In fact for smaller bathrooms I do exactly that. I cut and lay everything then pull them up to thinset. The thinset process then is about a half hour and just save a boatload of time and going back and forth and jumping down on your knees. | |

I ended up pulling up the joint tape, removing the thinset and found I had a jagged cut on the bottom side of my backer board the was causing it to buckle outwards. I cut it out, re-taped, and mudded. I also back buttered the tile and now it is nice and level. | |
