New Member - Question re: removing tiles

[DHTiling]

Glenn . I have used those tiles loads of times and my advice is ...don't wash off to early or it washes the grout back out the fake grout line....and the trick is to wash by hand sponge and not a wash-boy.........light strokes of the sponge does the trick.........

sounds like a good company on there data sheet they tell you not to prime thats why i stopped using them but it will still be ok i think lol

I would always prime any surface before applying anything to it, I think it's common sense and essential if you want a good finish. 🙂

Thanks for the tip Dave....what size spacers did you use with them?

I use rubi wedges on that type of tile to give it as tight as poss a joint without butting..this will give a better mosaic effect.........other wise you see a wide joint around each tile if you see what i mean........

Cheers Dave. I actually bought some 1mm spacers. Do you think a smaller gap is achievable with a rubi wedge?

Those will be fine..i just use the wedges because i carry them all the time , so no point in buying small spacers.............I think it looks better to try and blend them in, rather than let the joints stand out , otherwise you lose the effect........they look great when done though......i have used all the colours...........

My Missus is insistant on me using a grey coloured grout, although I'm not convinced. Have you used this colour grout on the combi dark before?

grey grout on dark tiles looks nice when done but if thats what the wife wants on your head mate if dont do it

beware all men the wrath of a pissed of wife lol
