a little tip, if you are finding that when you are cutting the limestone it is breaking away as you near the end of the line, then turn the stone around a couple of inches from the end and cut in from the opposite direction to avoid this happening...just go nice and steady, dont force the cut.
if you are sticking a limestone tile you have just cut on a wet cutter....the limestone will be full of water......it is very absorbent....let it dry out...or dry it out on a rad etc....
sticking wet limestone is not reccommended!
as you are fully aware Dave, that is a minimal amount of water...if it is saturated from the wet cutter however....mmmmm.....
some limestones are pre sealed....what they do not tell you is that it is only on the surface and is only suitable for handling....as in dirty fingers...
think of it as a slice of bread...if its buttered its moist...if its in a bowl of water its soaked.....limestone is the softest material.....i believe!
i wipe tiles on my t shirt every day to remove the excess water... i did a job not too long ago in 20mm 1000 x 600 unsealed.....we laid all the field tiles and stood the cuts up against a oil radiator that was knocking around.....the point was dry them out.....any tile....a soaking wet limestone tile will not bond as well as a dry one......imo
