    When do you do your cuts?

    I recently tiled my utility room (pics to follow, one day). When floor was prepd I did the layed all my whole tiles, then on day 2 went back in and did all my cuts. Not 100% where I read this but is that normal procedure, or possibly just for amatures due to setting time of the addy?
