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 .

Pocster Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 This bottom tile seemed to have tipped . Came out surprisingly easy as adhesive not rock hard yet ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 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 ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Punter Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Dark grey or charcoal grout may look OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have SWMBO factor !!! . The tiles do appear surprisingly different colours from varying angles . But they look mostly grey to me - SWMBO obviously has superior eyes and sees a different colour ?

Pocster Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 N dremel hours later Presume these grout lines are clean enough ? . Assume I can over grout and have the lines fractionally wider than the line . What I don’t want is white bits of adhesive showing through coloured grout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
