Trim for more than 90 degrees?

[rockyroo]

After some advice please, if tiling a wall where the degree is more than 90 would you still use trim? If not what would you suggest? Thanks in advance

You can use trim to any acute angle you like rocky, it's all in the mitre.....Gaz

YES! I agree with gazza..its all in the angle of the dangle..........

Is this as in where 2 walls meet and the external angle is not 90 for the length of the trim?

I have included a picture of the angles looking down on the wall (only rough, but you get the idea) the two circles are the joints I am not sure to put trim or not

Personally i would not use trim but would slightly mitre the tile to obtain a neat join.

Yes a mitre is the way to go, but watch out for that edge. Sliced my finger last week smoothing some grout along a border tile.

Break out the honing stone

I only have a 40 quid wet saw, they are porcelain tiles, the saw does cut mitres, but is it better to invest in something better or should I just see how it goes for now, I don't really have the money to spend on a big saw and I would rather wait and pay decent money than go for one for a couple of hundred only to have to replace it in a couple of years!

To get the exact angle on those corners then use a sliding bevel or simliar tool and then transfer it to the trim.....

Try it and see how it goes.
