lash clips not for me! - TilersForums.com

[garretridge]

was a review on this product a while ago so i bought them from (tradetiler) to help stop lipage problems and to see if they are any good.well was laying 450mm sq porcelain tiles in a kitchen floor and got the tub out and layed my tile then sliped it under 2" from each side as directed and continued to lay my second with my floor trowel then i put second down it would not sit on the adhesive bed properly when you move tile back and forward to acheive a good bond the lash clip wouldnt sit down in the adhesive bed properly so stoped tiles from adhering properly :yikes:i can only see problems ocurring with voids they are very hard plastic with little flex and in my opinion are a waste of money i only layed two tiles and was not happy so i ripped them up and went back to laying them the safe way.mabye someone else has had a better experience with them i didnt and wont be using them again!

Good point mate about the voids, would a deeper trowel been any better for the job

they are very hard plastic with little flex

Did you soak them in hot-ish water first..?

My way has no lippage so in no panic to get them but i like the look and idea of them.deep bed 12mm or so might work better?certainly a great idea.maybe different ones are available? Ie that sit closer to floor? Get dave from TT on to give his opinion?

Dave (tradetiler) has just used them when he tiled his own floor...He thought the were brilliant but a bit pricey...
