2mm tile spacers

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Andy - I've still got my chalk lines, red,white and blue chalk - but also my Dewalt 90degree laser level.!!!
When I first started wall and floor tiles were still fixed with sand/cement and tiling was a sideline for brickies so the tools were the same.
Tiles had to be soaked in barrels of water before they could be fixed and a water level was in every tool kit.
Now all we have to do is open a bag and keep a straight line - its great!

Same here John, soaking drums with ice on in winter. Happy days:lol:

cheers sir ramic for the link, their website said they were out of stock, but their ebay place says different. i have ordered a 1000.

i was taught how to use string when i was learning , years ago. only used it on 1 job. then spacers become more easy to find.

If you look at the profile of Homelux tile trim ie 'the bits they cut out' - I do remember that they tried to recycle those as spacer pegs!
Personally I've used anything from the cardboard packaging they come in to oval nails and tooth picks.

I love that blue chalk especially when it smacks you in the face, umm I think I did it wrong again!
