<p>A rotatable wedge tile spacer (30, 65) to be removably positioned in a gap (58) between adjacent upper and lower tiles (50 and 52) that are being bonded one above the other to a vertical surface (i.e., a wall). The tile spacer (30, 65) includes a curved (i.e., circular) body (32, 67) having a thin tip (36, 69) at one end and a thick tail (38, 70) at the opposite end. The height of the circular body (32, 67) increases along a tile-supporting top surface (34, 74) thereof that runs from the thin tip to the thick tail. With the tile spacer (30, 65) seated upon the lower tile (52), the circular body (32, 67) is rotated continuously around its longitudinal axis (40, 76) until the tile- supporting top surface (34, 74) engages the upper tile (50). Accordingly, the circular body (32, 67) of the rotatable wedge tile spacer (30, 65) will fill the gap (58) and thereby prevent the upper tile from moving through the gap towards the lower tile during the bonding process.</p> |
