Nickfromwales Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Your doing fine, remain calm. Grout WILL save the day I get my kegs in a twist on nearly every job before grouting it. The mitres will be ok after a whiff of grout. Chill winston.

Trying to find your post where you said about using CT1 between the back of the pocket shelf and mosaics... WHEN does the CT1 go in? If I load the pocket with adhesive and squash the bottom shelf down into it at the slight angle, it'll squidge out the ends for sure as there's big gaps. It probably won't so much out of the front as it's against the trim. But the back...where it touches the mosaic...if I've got wet adhesive in there, coming through that gap I won't be getting CT1 in there. Or is it done afterwards?

Nick made a specific comment about not having a grout joint between the shelf section and rear mosaics in the pocket. Rather you should do this in CT1. Seem to recall it was a case of having a minimal gap and baby wipe the excess off. BIG worry now though after reading the thread you linked is I'm thinking I should have stuck the trims on with CT1 and Multisolved the excess off rather than using mitre bond like I have!

Onoff Posted October 7, 2018 Author Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Worrying as above over whether this trim should have CT1 behind it, I was having a flex and a fiddle.....and pulled this strip off! And there was a LOT of mitre bond on it. So much I even took some of the glaze off the tile: A new bit of trim should hide the edge...just! But back to how to water proof this trim?

Onoff Posted October 7, 2018 Author Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Wondering if I could fit some form of bendy nozzle and squirt CT1 in from the rear. Thinking I've done these trims all wrong. I should have made them up as a 4 sided frame, mitre bonded at the joins. Then set the whole lot in CT1. Live and learn! Edited October 7, 2018 by Onoff

Expand I think ‘making the frame’ pre install would be a nightmare . Cant you just smear the trim with tile adhesive ? . I’ve done this before with no issue .

Nickfromwales Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 I always mire bond the trims on ( but I don’t go pulling on them afterwards! ). The fact you’ve CT1’d or siliconed is enough of a waterproofing measure. You won’t get these watertight like a submarine, but you may die trying by all means I just retro seal any obvious gaps with the appropriately coloured silicone, rubbing it in with my finger and wiping off the excess with baby wipes. CT1 multisolve spray finishes cleaning up and gets things immaculate, after 24 hours. Fwiw I’ve accidentally bumped trims off many times so they will indeed come back off. The mitre bond is just to hold it until the tile adhesive / other is applied for final fix.
