tiling

In geometry, the hexagonal tiling or hexagonal tessellation is a regular tiling of the Euclidean plane, in which exactly three hexagons meet at each vertex. It has Schläfli symbol of {6,3} or t{3,6} (as a truncated triangular tiling).
English mathematician John Conway called it a hextille.
The internal angle of the hexagon is 120 degrees so three hexagons at a point make a full 360 degrees. It is one of three regular tilings of the plane. The other two are the triangular tiling and the square tiling.

    tiling around a new shower installation

    Not sure if this is in the corrtect forum but when tiling around a new shower installation what is the difference between applying cement to the back of the tile or to the wall? The cement I have says apply it to the wall and not the tile. Does it really make a difference? Regards
