Like to use Warm Wire from Sun Touch under Ditra. The wire is pretty low profile but with the strap, is getting pretty tall. They recommend using 3/8”x3/8 trowel for the wire. Should I use double sided tape or hot melt to hold the wire in place to keep the profile down? Ditra recommends using 1/4”x 1/4” trowel and modified thin-set mortar between the membrane and (in this case) the plywood. Warm Wire calls for “always use polymer-modified cement-based mortar.” Also, how much down pressure should I put on the Ditra to imbed it properly?
