    Default contoured borders

    i thought i'd seen the last of these little blighters but i'm doing a bathroom for a cheapskate who's bought these old tiles. 10 corners i got to do, 4 of them external mitres and i got to take the guard off my wet cutter to get them through so i'm getting soaked too . why can't they use mosaics like everyone else
