Getting close to it happening! Was it on these lines? Cheers. I think that’s about your only option. Having balls bigger than your brain is the problem here, as even I wouldn’t look forward to tiling that multi-angled extravaganza Pack the intersection with silicone so it’s oozing out of the gaps and then wipes a plenty to finish it flush. Should look reasonably seem-less then tbh. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole hot air gun / slit the back / bend it round something thing had crossed my mind. John the Chippy might be down this weekend so he might have an idea.

I posted that after a beer...in the cold light of day with a slight hangover / start of man flu it doesn't seem such a sensible boast! Pretty sure the picture framing guillotine is going to be invaluable for this detail. Other than that it's the Evolution Rage chop saw (non starter) or little plastic mitre blocks to cut this trim. Posted these before but it cuts real clean imo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) How many more miscalculations? I decided on an access panel, one tile wide to be able to get at the trap. Well, at least to change it by feel and with the assistance of a second person should the need ever arise. It was tight anyway with my gorilla forearms, compromised further now by the bundle of 20mm flexible conduits for the plinth lights. BUT...just realised that the access panel assumed one tile, central to panel. Now the run on the side of the bath will be "out" to those on the wall. Unless...

Onoff Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Back to the trim. Cutting at 67.5deg gives me this: Which is fine. Losing the post from the trim: Still doesn't look right: Playing with it: Because of the way the sides rake in: Hmm.....

Onoff Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Dancing from one thing to another here... Used CT1 Power Grab & Bond direct to the marine ply, no primer of any sort, this for the removable side panel. Figured easily replaceable if it does blow: This'll have another bit of tile stuck on below. There'll be a couple of super clean, diamond core drilled holes to affix it with st/st screws I WANT the top of the deck tanked. Realised I've run out of actual Aquaseal primer so as per the back of the can mixed up SBR 4:1 instead albeit Cementone brand rather than Everbuild like it says. I've used this mix on the top deck but not the sides: As I might stick the side tiles on with CT1 Power Grab & Bond I've done a little sample board to which I'll stick tiles to: Edited December 8, 2018 by Onoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
