Natural Stone....how to finish tile edge.

[cja]

has anyone tried the Kestrel SIM180 for tiling? what extras would you buy for polishing the edges with it?

might pop into halfords to get that 40 quid one to play with - are the pads that come with it any good for a small job?

I seem to be getting more and more stone work these days, which i really enjoy. I would like to know how much to charge for these extra skills such as bull-nosing stairs and polishing edges. I have a polisher and bull-nose attachment which i got from trimline and just try to re-coup some of the costs of these machines through materials on each job. Probably a question for the tilers arms (as prices cant/shouldnt be discussed on an open forum!) but just thought i would ask. Great post by the way Wetdec.

great post i have some pieces of emperador from my benchtop to play with.

What is the resin your talking about?

I would love to work with more stone, its such a pleasurable material to work with.

Ther is another option mate as you only have 10 m to do, get some wet and dry and a rubbing block or any kind of sander, if the edges have small holes fill them with matching grout and go for it, with all this machinery around I think we forget all our first hand skills !! Cheers Steve akaozboz
