3 way mitres?

[bj F]

Dos anybody do compound mitres (3 way mitres)?

[kilty55]

i do,pretty time consuming for me as im not very fast yet though,,do you do them?

[bj F]

Yes just got it in my thick head still not perfect though

[kilty55]

hehe me too mate,practice makes perfect eh!

[bj F]

Guess it’s just me and you then m8

[oldgit]

why does anyone bother,you see the job you work out the trim you need you see the corners requiring 3 way,you then add these to the bill.
i know some trim companies dont supply corners so you need to find an alternative company when you need 3 way corners,ive yet to see a 3 way mitre done that looks even average compared to a 2 way or 3 leg piece placed on the corner. if your stuck homelux always do them.

MY FIRST POST SO DONT BE TO HARSH.

i agree with oldgit here, they are a waste of time and look rubbish...

I don’t use DIY trim (homelux) I tend to use schluter or genesis.
I have to admit that cut wrong they are mingin but cut right they beat a corner piece hands down. Trust me I’m a tiler.

not the easiest thing to do at first but they do get easier once you suss out how to cut.Devonmark posted a thread on here explaining how to do these cuts,maybe Dave,Dan or grumps could put a alink up again as i dont know how to do it...lol

I used to love having a break from the more repetitive work to take pride in making the detail stand out - and perfect 3-wayers rock!

Though tough with metal trim.
