Tiling onto angled part where wall meets ceiling

[mikethetile]

ive used the suction method to stick tiles to soffits

back butter just the edge but make it continuous spread and notch the ceiling and then push the tile on pushing the air out

it works with 150mm biscuits

i havent tried it with anything heavier

i use support in window soffits with heavier tiles

i thought nobody still uses pva?

Me too, would never risk it. Lost a job recently, customer had pva caked on
bathroom walls inc walk in shower, I told him to wire brush, to remove pva.

Never heard fom him again, obviously he got someone to go on top. Glad I refused, they were 600x300 porcelain:yikes:

I wouldnt put trim along the top of the tiles as the ceiling is bound to not be flat and true, trim will make this stand out like a saw thumb. Just cut your tiles as neatly and closely to the ceiling as poss, as said above, it will help to take the back edge off of the tiles.

Cheers fellas, but i'm not into wacking loads on, just watered down pee really, but everyone to their own!!

I dont want to be a scare mongerer, but PVA as far as I know was outlawed years ago. SBR is the way to go. Another thing to bare in mind is that each adhesive has its own unique primer. They should'nt be mixed. With large format tiles, you have a duty of care to research the correct material for each project. I would not like to be sued for one of my 600x300 travertine tiles killing someone.

Actually, I did meet Paul Weller last month, he was sat the seat behind me on an easyjet flight, I couldn't sleep for the noise of him snogging his mid 20's bird/wife the whole bleedin flight..............:lol:

It was, but if we can guide members away from bad code of practice. surely its not a bad thing. I might be an old timer who started off fixing in sand and cement. Using a scriber for walls, and pin hammer/ tungsten chisel for floors. But I like to keep up to date on all new technology and good code of practice. I just wish every tiler did.

PVA does not stop Ettringite failure when using cement based adhesives...So it is not case of everyone to their own on here...it is advising correct prep and methods..

PVA has no place in the tiling trade.

I assume you have a variable andle cutter.
If not how did you do it as it looks bigger than a 45 egree angle
