Fekins saftey tip of the day... watch what your doing with a Stanley knife :)

I dont feel it will be strong enough myself but time will tell. I would have lifted the tiles and charged the client for that.

That's exactly what I planned to do, but the customer wasn't having it, and I wasn't going to lift a full row, clean up the groutlines, relay and regrout for nothing.

I told him it wasn't the best idea but he's happy, Im happy "other than disecting my thumb" so as you say, time will tell.

Post a picture!!! Sounds lurvely!

I have sympathy though - I once picked my stanley knife off the floor whilst talking to someone and not looking - picked up by the blade. Funny thing was it only hurt once I looked at it, held upside down by the blade, with the blade clean into my thumb, resting on the bone. It took a staple and a couple of months to heal.

Yeah, it would have been fitted at the time the last row of time was laid, but he said from the start to just finish he didn't want\need anything as the tiles came flush to the garage door rubber seal, then changed his mind after the tiling was done.
