You've done a nice job mate well done for your first floor, you have set it out nicely!

 

[Stocks Tiles]

Here is the unlevel door lining, even though it bugged the hell out of me looking at it and yes the tiles are level :hurray:

 

[Stef]

David, that floor is looking good m8, should be proud of that.. [emoji106][emoji106]

Talk me through the using of a sponge with angle grinder.

Get a wet sponge & hold it at the back of your grinder guard.
I'm right handed so hold grinder with right hand & put the wet sponge at the back of the guard against the blade with my left hand.
Once you get used to it you will very rarely use a wet saw.

I needed a wet cutter for tomorrow. I was gonna ask my buddy for a leand of his diy one but Im gonna this method like. What do you cut your tile on what surface? Is a soft springy surface better than a solid hard surface?

I hang the tile off of a hop up.
You are better with a softer surface, use some cardboard from the tile boxes.
Have a practice on an off cut of tile & watch your fingers, once you get a hang of this method then you won't use a wet cutter much.

Go onto ATS DiamondTools & order from Alan direct.
Get a continuous rim or a porcelain turbo blade. Don't be put off by the price these blades are some of the best you can buy.

I have just switched to ATS blades I'm using the turbo blade and it wont bloody die lol, it really has put the montolit pro gres to shame and it's 1/3 the price posted!

After reading all the good reports on here about ATS blades I think I'm going to invest when my current one dies.

I wouldn't even wait till your current one dies, I would invest in a blade or 2 now, round about £10 a blade.
Keep the one you have just now as a spare.

I can't visualise what your saying. Do I actually touch the blade with the sponge. Any videos of this method?

 

[area tiling]

Quite a large bathroom to tile tomorrow !!

 

[widler]

At least the plasterer looks to have done a decent job, that's how floating should look, not the figure 8 what some do [emoji106]

Yeah let the blade cut through the sponge so it's picking up water all the time.
Will try & get someone to video me doing it so you know exactly what I'm doing.

 

[RITE TOUCH]

[RITE TOUCH]

That would be great. You must go through some amount of sponges though.

Used the same sponge for the last 6 months or so, your only cutting a line into the sponge.
