[brummie tiler]

Can't you cut the frames and slide the tiles under?

thats what i do takes less time in the long run as your not running backwards and forwards to your cutter. Also better finish

practice makes perfect,stick in there m8.Get yourself a wet cutter and do your cuts in that,makes life a lot easier.Bri

get a Fein Multimaster mate to remove the bottom of skirtings. Takes 2 minutes to cut them and you can slide the tile right under for a nice finish.

Was lookin at the Fein Multimaster. will defo consider gettin one as most of my time was spent going back and forth to the cutter, then not getting the cut right and havomg to start again!!

So does the multimaster remove a few millimetres from the skirting and then you slide the tile under it? Is it easy enough to do this?

(finished the job today, will post pics asap )

Hi Falcone, never cut skirting to slide tile under, straight cutting for me or on some jobs they put skirting on afterwards, bottom of door frames with multimaster

Hi Falcone, never cut skirting to slide tile under, straight cutting for me or on some jobs they put skirting on afterwards, bottom of door frames with multimaster

so just the door frames with the multimaster? thanks straight cuts are easy enough to get on normal skirtings anyway I suppose. the door frames caused most problems for me on the job.

does anyone ever Silicon at the edges of skirtings and door frames?
