Use of batons - running bond

[Fourcircles]

Hi guys

Im planning on tiling my bathroom with 600x300 porcelain tiles in a brickwork pattern. I have positioned my batons horizontally and vertically and have my starting point. But my question is:

When I get to the third row up there is only half a tile supporting the first tile. How do I go about supporting the other half until it goes off to make sure I still have accurate spacing?

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks

Masonary nail or screw in wall to support depending on material .

Both great and fairly straightforward suggestions. Don't know why I didn't think of that.

Thanks guys!

Or........Off cut of tile .. Spaced.. You can hold it in place either with a dab of splodge or gaffa tape..

To be honest I never use a vertical batten and I'm not going to start any time soon if your horizontal batten is horizontal and straight you should be fine

Id go along with a offcut and spacer

Why not use a good quality non slip adhesive??

This is what I ended up doing - no tape required!

Thanks for the suggestions!
