[tilecentral]

Not long completed basic tiling course, Just Got my first paid job comming up and want to do it good. I have some exsternal corners (not arround windows) and thinking of mitreing the tiles so they meet flush at the corner. Am i asking for trouble. Any tips guys?

you could do it but takes a bit of care until you get used to mitering.. i would use trims for your first job if i was you .....use a junior hacksaw and mitre box......dave..

Yeah, buy yourself a box of cheap tiles and practise mitring at home.

Same goes for trimming, always worth tiling boxes and laying trims and mitring when your a newbie, wish I had, I might still do it now , lol
