Hi folks.

How would you recommend to cut a long curve in a 400x400 porcelain tile when approaching a fixed shower tray?

Also, when setting out an irregular room with a non-straight (i.e. not 90degrees to perpindicular wall) longest wall, do you set out using the angle of longest wall or is the general rule to ALWAYS have tiles set square within a floor and NOT to follow the line, say, of the longest wall in an irregular shaped room?

Are diamond hole bits best for drilling holes in non-ceramic tiles and if so is there a cheaper but durable alternative to expensive Rubi hole cutters?

In a room thats painted, can you still tank and if so what is procedure,-do I still score and prime?

Many thanks in advance
