Discuss Lash clips etc Again ! in the British & UK Tiling Forum area at TilersForums.com.

The lash clips are definately not 2mm as Raimondi claim they are - as Gary says they are approx 1.5mm at the most.

I had used those horse shoe spacers for the walls and am bonding through to the left hand wall so just used them on the floor as well.:smilewinkgrin:

Also, as Neale says, I'm expecting the clips to snap off easier with having a touch space either side.
 
Is the tool for inserting the wedges necessary? The tradetiler LASH system is done by hand, just wondered if it made it more accurate.

After the first time I have used this Raimondi system, I would say that the pliers are DEFINATELY necessary to get a good tight fit and zero lippage.
The top of the wedges have ridges on them that co ordinate with the inside of the lash clip, thus holding the wedge in place(rather like a cable tie) - so the pliers push the wedge in as it clicks into place.
I cannot, however, vouch for the Tradetiler system.

I think its just to pull the tiles up tight. A one off purchase but another expense. i do like the size of the wedges though....you wont misplace many !

everybody is trying to invent some sort of tool or system now. some will be a hit and some will be a miss. the only way to find out is to try these things and study your results... if they work and create more efficency then great, if they dont, then at least you've satisfied your curiosity..... the most important part of tiling is the end result and long term durability. time will tell?
