[QUOTE="Stuart_AC, post: 885300"] ...cont. I bought a load of Genesis Tile Clips but generally not using them as the tile is so heavy that it snaps the clip before the tile can be pulled level. I’m using the odd one where needed and assist the lift with a trowel as not to snap the clips. Note – it’s only being lifted 1 or 2mm so the theory of lifting a tile clear off the adhesive isn’t an issue. I’ve clipped in tiles and raised them a few mm only to have to lift the tile again for some reason–each tile I’ve checked for adhesive coverage after it has been lifted and it has been ok. Pretty much every 2nd tile is laid then comes straight back up for some minor scrapping/calibration. There can be a small deviance in the thickness of the tile by +/- 1.5mm. They’re meant to be 20mm so the deviance makes it difficult to be consistent with adhesive to achieve. At the beginning of the adhesive batch (when it’s quite loose) it’s possible to stand on the tile and squash it down. However nearer the end of the batch when it’s stiffer that’s not possible so the tile comes back up. It’s tough getting the tile back up but it’s a good opportunity to see that I’m getting good consistent coverage to the adhesive. [B]Setting out[/B] If you look back on the thread I said I was planning to lay a master setting out line the length of the house and tile off them. I’ve revised that thought as it’s better to ensure that each group of tiles are level with each without issue before moving onto the next part. Also if I had set up a tiled line then I would have had to ensure clear pockets under the tile clear of adhesive so that the levelling clips can be inserted and be free to move. You can’t bed a clip in at the end of the day and then start the following day as it has to be free to move in order to pull the up the tiles. Nothing’s grouted yet. I’m planning to follow the procedure and use the products in the video I attached at the beginning of the thread so will let you know how I get on. [/QUOTE]
