Reply to comment by 5degreenegativerake in Tile leveling system breaking flush with tiles. Am I doing something wrong? by pwn3dbyth3n00b

I did this same thing my first time tiling, didn’t really realize how bad it was til it was time to snap the tabs off.

Used this and everything was perfect within like 30 minutes. Not a big deal.

Yeah, thinset around the base of the spacer is absolutely your one and only problem here. I usually will place the tile first, then use a 1 inch putty knife to scrape the excess thinset away from the edge of the tile, then squeeze the spacer in.
