how do i baton on tanked walls

[craigd]

hay guys i was just wondering how you put batons up after tanking? i cant use scews or nails because it would pierce it right, ive got some rubi baton stand but i dont fancy trying to ballance them on the corner of the bath, i was thinking of no more nails but i dont want to rip the tanking off when i try to get it off.

any help would be great..

Why dont you strike a line round the bath, cut your bottom row in then tile up from there?

 

[craigd]

id not thought of that thanks, im using ardex wpc

I would cut in first as well but if you do have to batten then fix as normal and then touch in the tanking where the fixings were...

Not a fan of batons, so I always cut in the first row....

ive not done it before, so i just put the laser up like normal put rest the tiles on the bath cut to the laser then just flip them over all the way round right?

i would put bottom course in first with rapid set then tile up the tile up from there :8:

 

[craigd]

do you mean let it dry before i tile up

 

[Rizzle from the Portizzle]

yes i would go round bottom course with rappid set. you
dont want the bottom course moving when you start putting the next course up any more than you than you want your battens flexing.

Cut your first row in problem solved

as above very rarely use battons

I think good way of tiling is to start walls from the second row then do the floor then fit bottom cut (or full tile), if the walls not parallel and they are usually not parallel it better to do floor cut becouse bottom cut hide it. In my opinion just faster and better finish between walls and floor. Then as Dave said where baton fixings were just do tanking touchs

I use the metal stands, works for me...

Or do your floor first problem solved
