    Etched metal tile trim

    Unfortunately I allowed some adhesive to squeeze underneath the protective plastic of a brushed metal trim. This looks to have etched the metal. Would this polish out with T-Cut or similar?

    grouting metal listello trims

    I am going to tile my shower area with 600 x 300 tiles and put metal (bright chrome) listello between them. I was wondering about the grouting, and if it might scratch the face. Also as it is going to be in the shower area will the metal tarnish? Any advice greatly appreciated
