Pocster Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Actually a tile stuck ontop would block the led ! So it would all have to come out . Think I’ll live with it . It’s because I’ve been laying these horizontally so not thinking of vertical !! ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to St Nick I think you aren't supposed to look directly at the grout lines in the pockets up the sides. The side tiles should cover the one at the back (like mine does). Back tiles go in first. Then bottom, top and finally sides. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Title should be “ Doing fecking stuff might be bathroom might not be “ Bottom one is in . Will do top tomorrow. Got myself a dremel dsm20 - hoping this will give perfect mitres - then my tessties will swell . I think lining up everything to fit a tile is sometimes impossible . One wall in the bathroom has 2 recesses and a window . Hence my professional made mitring solves all this planning bollocks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
