spacers under tiles

[bassman]

Have to agree with leaving a gap especially on a long run so if it gets weight in the middle the silicone will allow for movement in the work top. also soon worktops lifted to insert washing machines and the like.

No MG Your not being a wally. I have never seen a tiler puting each tile on a spacer to start with but just wondered how many did.

I do, always, allows for expansion and or movement

I was taught to run off the worktop....if it was level!

Taught by the same 'comic' as me then grumpy?
I was also told to cut the tile to the bath tight as and use clear silicone!
I ditched the clear silicone idea but cut a tight fit on the bath.
refer to previous posts - now I see where the water ingress was coming from.
Currently repairing and leaving a good 2 mm between bath and tile.
Will do the same on kitchen splashback - leave a 2 mm gap althoug I was told to #tile off the work surface.

Oh dear pts
