Tiles used for skirting

There should'nt be any sharp edges if your doing skirting....

I am cutting the tiles myself out of floor tile rejects.

Bound to be a few sharp edges, they are not ready made skirting tiles.

I will have to sand each top edge and burr it for sharp edges.

A burring tool should do it although it might ruin the face of the tile if I burr too much and too deep.

What sort tool do you have...
 
A Dremel with rotary sanding disk.

The blade is like a big solid pink candifloss spinning round and round at high speed made of some kind of sanding stone I think.

It will take any sharp edges off the newly cut edge of the tile surely?
 
Think I'd trim the skirting if I was bothered about edges..

How about what you'd normally find in probably every house in the country??

I do have a wet cutter yes.

It's what the lady wants, wooden skirting would be a lot easier and quicker but he who pays the piper calls the tune.

Also one wall is solid wall with plaster on top.
So we have one wall that is plasterboard in a very bad way and the other that is solid with a plastered finish.

Get a bullnose thingie for your grinder
