So is it just me who follows a small cut with a big cut on internal and external corners with metros?
I try to wrap it around if the cuts all work out, makes it flow much better although sometimes not possible due to setting out.

So is it just me who follows a small cut with a big cut on internal and external corners with metros?

I'd assume there are 2 ways to do them.
1. In bricklaying a full brick and a half brick.
2. In wallpapering follow the pattern around ie. into the corner with a half out of the corner with a half.

Done this on Thursday/Friday and managed to wrap it around nicely which I reckon gives it a nicer finish. Just the white Silicon in corners to do. The diamond effect you get in corners is annoying but the white Silicon IMO does help to hide this. :wink:

i usually colour match the grout with the Silicon. so grey grout means grey Silicon in corners, i also use one of the smaller profiles on Silicon tool and really take my time doing it.
Yep, I'm the same , do loads of metro white tiles and always light grey grout & I mastic internals and where tiles meet units in a grey mastic to match grout
