    900mm x 300mm, 10mm notched, Norcros one part flexible, unable to get 95% coverage.

    Trowel the back of the tile with the adhesive using the 10mm trowel, its nothing to do with the actual adhesive but the size of the tile

    Tile Levelling systems

    Used the Genesis system on a 20m2 floor recently , tiles were 600x600 polished porcelain rectified edge and i was very happy with the finished result , you have to ensure the clip is tight to the tile if you're leaving the next row off as it can end up leaving too big a gap , had to pull out 2...

    Let's have some Grout talk

    Yeah well it was ok on floors but not great on ceramics on walls without the additive it would dry instantly on joints and fall on the deck , trust me I grouted a gazillion bathrooms with it..

    Let's have some Grout talk

    Mixing an additive to the butech made it much more workable, I subbied to porcelanosa for around 20 years so I had to use their miserable grout

    Seeking advice on an ongoing job (bevelled metro tiles)

    I can hand on heart say in over 30 years of tiling the amount of customers who have asked for mitres on ceramics I could count on one hand . In saying that who remembers when tiles used to come with " jolies" ?

    Seeking advice on an ongoing job (bevelled metro tiles)

    I almost never mitre ceramics , trim protects the edges and nobody wants to pay for the amount of extra time it takes . just my view ...

    Sigma rubi or montolit

    The Monty when working with easy to cut tiles is actually very good , its fast to use and the measuring bar with the drop down stop is better than Sigmas , its also good with mosaics @ Miss Tiler , but i wouldnt recommend this cutter over a Sigma to anyone..
