    Rubi Tile spacers, any advise?

    Anyone leaving them in? I know they can cause tension, grout color fading and can attract mold. But are these any better? They support tension and also allows grouting over, or should they be removed?

    Useful spacer bucket holder.

    I bought one of these recently, for the princely sum of £1.42 Listed for iphone screens, I thought it might hold your spacer bucket, stick it to the tiles just placed. For some reason I cannot log in to tapatalk, or I'd post some pics. It worked well. As a test I left my bucket hanging on it...
