how do i baton on tanked walls

[Mike Mike]

I use Rubi baton stands and various length cheap aluminium spirit levels instead of wooden batons. Doesn't matter if the bubbles work accurately or not (as you check them with your good levels) as long as they're straight. Leave them up about half an hour or so then take them off and clean the adhesive off.

You can also stick a bit of masking tape on them and use them as a measuring guage to decide on setting out, and if you leave the masking tape on them when you use them as batons it makes it easier to clean them, just take the masking tape off et voila, they're clean.

p.s. You can stick a couple of dabs of tile adhesive on the side of the spirit levels to give extra grip too, especially if the wall isn't perfectly flat, imagine that, a wonky wall...

Just bumping some of the older popular (sometimes not so popular) threads. Probably wont be current discussion these days but I just need to do it. So just ignore the thread if it's not current for you.
