job today,

[widler]

Don't panic ash,in showrooms they usually tile the floors over builders paper,tile over tiles and tile on ply using glue guns.
I have never heard of a accident in any shop yet.
Displays ain't up for long

 

[widler]

and if its a hot glue gun you are using yo only get one chance sticking them on,no time for adjustment

Bri it literally glue on back,stick on wall and ,well,that's it ,stuck,and like baby poo to a blanket as well

Oh I've just read bri's reply,should of read it all 1st

Hey mr T, I was helping out a friend with a display this morning for a friend, tiles on top of tiles. Be good practise for you!!

 

[Gazzer]

B&Q ; Bilston was tiled on lining paper !

 

[Mr Tiler]

hi well wasn't impressed today rubi wouldn't cut the glazed porc tiles so every cut had to be done with my grinder, diamond bits wouldn't go through the old tiles but instead melted and I only managed to get the shower area tiled and also ran out of tile (not my fault). cheers

what model Rubi?

 

[Mr Tiler]

ts60 mate, I don't know what I was doing wrong but the tiles were just break in whichever way they wanted so had to do all the cuts before putting anything on the walls. gutted feel like a rite prat

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

I had issues with my rubi ts when cutting porcelain so changed cutters.

 

[Brian the Tile]

new wheel?

 

[Mr Tiler]

I tried all the wheels I had on a tile I have about 8 cant be the wheel

 

[Brian the Tile]

score lightley once over with a new wheel usualy does the trick or check the snapping mechanism on the cutter,but only score once and quick snap,see if that helps any
