Fiddly door return tiles done . Few mm out at the top - but I’ll just over grout to hide that .I have to say it’s all looking pretty good . Been also cleaning out the tile gaps with the dremel ( reckon I’m good enough with that to be a dentist ) . So just wall pockets to do .Time to conquer the bathroom now ??

I find that really risky . Because you can move or flick out a spacer . I do water brush down the faces and any ‘safe’ gaps . Will just dremel each line .
-
Yes . Waiting for silver ct1 to arrive then will do them
-
Not going to SWMBO wants biscuit - I think that means beige . I’d prefer grey
-
Ensuite fully tiled now Now need SWMBO to choose grout colour ? Presume I need to clear out all tile gaps of adhesive
-
Can’t . It’s a kerdi board premade thing . Slicing out the bottom shelf for maybe 4mm sounds risky to me . Probably just cut the trim back off so it can sit lower somehow
-
Tricky tricky Rather than have the skinniest of tile under the top recess I let it go ? ( beneath dewalt torch ) So either cut trim back off so I can mount it lower or cut a skinny tile and have a grout line either end ? lesser of 2 evils ?

B a s t a r d s ! This is MY bathroom thread ! - you lot got my brexit thread closed you (expletive deleted)s
-
Oh f u k it ! I’ll just grout and silicone on top Mummies too angry now to listen
-
Anyway ! Say I use Mapei silicone and grout of the same colour - do they *really* match ?
-
Ok ok ok So why not ct1 then silicone just on the corner ? . My only point really is grout could crack ( though silicone will hold it in ) ; but ct1 won’t . Either way silicone is final layer . Mummy said she has a headache and you should (expletive deleted) off now .
-
But ! I ct1 the gap on the opposing wall as instructed by you master . Just assumed doing the same on the opposite wall would make a nice ct1 ‘corner’ - bullet proof . Mummy said your tiling is crap
-
Had no intention of using ct1 as final finish as I’ve said many times ? Surely I should clear ct1 that vertical line ( like on the opposing wall ) but concave; then do silicone ontop . Is that not better ? . Ct1 as real waterproofing . Silicone as nice visual colour 1st defence to water . Grout in corner allows for no flexibility. Surely you’ve finished grouting mummies bedroom by now ? ?
-
Sure but no bt1 grey
-
Hmmmm can’t seem to find bt1 grey . Planning on grey grout - might just ct1 grey ontop ....
-
My plan was ct1 clear in the ‘gap’ then coloured silicone over it
-
It’s only really 3mm or so But fill with ct1 then silicone on top ?
-
So! I am now at this stage. For this corner return do I ct1 aswell then simply silicone up the corner on the ct1? - that it?

1000 years from now . When you are all dead ( I’m still in cryogenic storage ) students will look back at this website to educate themselves on our primitive methods . Just wait until I thaw out !!! ????

Stop spoiling my thread . Some poor newbie has read through all this valuable information and is now wondering wtf !!

WELL! Maybe ! The issue then was the adhesive setting in 30 seconds!. I practised it and thought I had mastered the skill. But when it came to the real thing I failed. As W. Shakespeare also said " When the adhesive sets to quick a man will fail. When the adhesive sets just right a man will succeed " Believe it or not I've got an 'O' level in English literature . So naturally you can take my quotes as 100% accurate.

Afraid you must wait until Monday ! Oi @Big Jimbo you said my soil pipe version 3 was amazing !!! ”A man that makes no mistakes is not a man . A man that makes mistakes is merely a man “ W. Shakespeare.

Because small hands make other man parts look HUGE ?
