Just having a little play with the Porcel-Thin tiles today.

With the mitring- I take it you don’t go too close to the edge otherwise you’ll leave a weak point?

Also, I’ve been mitring by firstly using a standard blade (Montolit GCX) to cut my mitre then taking it back with a fine blade (Montolit STL fine) and variable speed grinder and using the edge of the blade.

Do you overhang one mitre slightly more than the other or having them perfectly even?

I take it you leave a reasonable gap between the mitre and either grout or resin fill? Any tips on this? What sort of size gap are we talking?

Sorry about all the questions but it’s something I don’t do so am keen to get this right. pics below for reference. I think I need to take the mitre back quite a bit further

Awesome, Thanks.

I’m ready

To an extent, I’m lucky as I have no 3 way corners to do, Quartz is going on instead.

Haha good shout on the trowel Andy. :)

Although I think I’d be taking the tops off of those bolts, your knuckles won’t fair well. #jussayin! :D

Yeah definitely coming off. The bolts are stainless so was going to grinder them off. Stainless is one hard metal!
