Laying course thickness - Stonemarket decorative provence sunflowe

[martindeer]

My wife kindly purchased the Stonemarket Radius patio kit for me to lay. I have read the article on laying the Celtic Knot on the site, and note that a wet laying course is recommened due to the small size of some of the pieces, which the radius also has. I am going to use a wet laying course as well. I have dug out and layed a sub base the same as the Celtic Knot on on the website, but I am unsure of how thick the wet laying course should be. Somewhere between 25-50mm sounds about right, but any advice on minimum/maximum thickness appreciated.

Try to get a bed depth of around 40-50mm

Less than 25mm is almost impossible more than 50mm is wasteful and the flags are liable to settle/move as the mortar cures.

Many thanks for the replies and advice. Once the danger of frost is over I shall lay it.
