What are you lot using for batons?

[D hug]

The plained 2x1 over here is junk. Thoughts onr 2"lengths from ply or something?

sheet of mdf plus rail saw equals lots of nice straight batons for very little money. Just cut outside and wear and mask

Planed 2 x 1 if I have to, normally cut the bottom rows in first when ever possible.

dependant on the size of the tile 2" pencil round, 2 x 1 or the laser level also what kind of mood I'm in a also 😛

Old spirit levels

Used to use a sheet of 9mm ply ripped down to 40mm strips, now I tile up from floor first

I prop my batons rather than fix them, so by adjusting props you can get away with banana shaped batons.
Larger format; I don't baton. Just go straight up.

I use old spirit levels as batons

I used to use plained timber but I would be stood in B&Q staring down the lengths to find the straightest like a right weirdo. Now i just get my line up and cut to it adjusting with wedges to get it level. Much easier. If I need to baton certain parts I sometimes use some offcuts of trim
