Almost like there was no thought given to layout !.

Hi, I have recently done the same - limestone, flattened pebbles, over a schluter foam pan, with linear drain. I used a white Ardex adhesive, 12mm (almost half inch !), to bed in sheets of pebbles and ensured all pebbles were fully embedded in adhesive. I was concerned about the size of some...

The important bit is : where you place the trim when you’re cutting it.

Try 3 way mitre, mancave projects, on YouTube. Couple of practice cuts on scrap trim and you’ll be away

Hi Mark, did you sell the Rubi tx cutter ?, or is it still available ?.

Hi, I’ve never tried tiling over zinsser primer, and probably wouldn’t try it. I did some painting in the summer for a customer (trying to stay afloat !!), and they bought zinsser 123 primer. When dry, after approx 24hrs, the adhesion wasn’t great and the dry film was soft and peeled off quite...

All, thanks for your thoughts / replies. Ive never tried Weber before, so, if I find some I’ll give it a go. Will also give (coloured) Mapesil a try, looks like it’s widely available. Agree with the comments about Dow, seems like it’s a go-to product if using white.

Anyone have a view, or an opinion, on preferred brand of Silicon ?

Wow....really !!. Like Julian said, it’s not all about the loss of earnings. I went to learn something new, that hopefully will be useful to me in the future and allow me to earn a bit more when the situation arises. I did come away with some adhesive and grout to complete a medium size kitchen...

I recently attended a large format tile training day run by Ardex, at their Haverhill trading centre. The day was very well organised and run by Andrea King & Vince Ruffini of Ardex, with support from Rubi - rail and cutting system. It was also a good opportunity to see and try some of the...

Great result John. Were any of the original, bowed tiles loose or cracked ?.

Hello AA, Just a quick question about finishing off when using tile trim. In the photo above : where the piece of vertical tile trim is cut off level with top of tile, do you generally use (white) Silicon and “fill in / smooth off” top of trim to “blend in” as best you can ?, or do u have a...
