Anybody used the riamonde levelling system,I have used the lash clip ones but it hurts your fingers after a while,thinking of going the painless way,or do I stick to doing it without either to keep the cost down as you can spend £30/£60 a standard size bathroom,for the clips
What's the best method for preparing solid walls which have been plastered, ready for tiling with large and heavy stone tiles (e.g. 600x400 marble)?

Hi all.....
Could someone please point me in the direction of a good thread on trowels to use for large format wall tiling.
I am also looking for some experienced advice about the correct way to tile large format wall tiles. Particularly porcelain. I have been tiling for a reasonable time now...
Anybody used these and have any feedback?
I sort of like the idea but dunno if it is worth the money as they are quite expensive and you would need 1000's of pieces for some jobs. My dad who has 40+years of experience would like to know what you guys think.
Thanks,
Jack

Any thoughts would be much apreciated.

Hi,
I have some large porcelain tiles (600x400x11mm). I was planning to use Bal singlepart flex to fix them to wall however someone has advised me to use mosaicfix instead as it has better hold and the tiles are heavy.
Is this correct?
Thanks
