Fixing tile trim when tiling

[doug boardley]

normally fix it whilst tiling, but if i need to prefix it I use staple gun and then run a thin bed of addy down flange

Hi all, all the very best for "2009".......I have resorted to doublesided tape a few times but tend to trim as I go to hold things in place. Nine times out of ten I am slightly "trueing " window recesses anyway so the addy works well.

Hi guys i always use duck tape works really well for me

I normally slide them in as I go and once all the tiles are in place. However for external corners I will sometimes use 'No more Nails' or 'Sticks Like ****' Glue and hold in place with tape until set.
never tried staples, might be a go!!

addy for me but might give the staple idea a try!

Depends on how good the back ground is trim before or as i go with addy

This has been a problem for me.
On my first job at a friends bathroom, (which I'm still working on when I can), the biggest problem that I seem to have right now is the trim, so much so that I think I'll have to pull all the tiles off the wall that I've placed round the window recess because it looks crap. I didn't think about a staple gun or cutting the trim before sticking the tiles, just thought I'd do it as I go. The rapid set was drying before I had slid the trim into place and even then I was not completely happy with the cuts.

Is there any way out of this for me guys, do I really have to prize all the tiles off the wall and relay them in order to sort the trim out now that everything's dried?

Still you live and learn I suppose. :dunce:
