I'd prime a bit of ply and fix it over the gap using timber 2x1 and then tile the bugger.  | ||

You can get metal corners bigger than edge trims which are more than an inch should cover it. ---- and maybe spray paint it black 1st? | ||||||||||

Looks like an uneven wall problem to me. Did you have to straighten the wall out? Grumps | ||

ok what i actually did was back butter tiles and bring the tiles closer to the work top...then i wedged some card board pretty tight into the gap and used BLACK silicone to level it off with the work top...then i ran white silicone across ... here's what it looks like (to be honest i wasn't to happy with it ..but the customer thought it looked pretty good considering the inch gap that was there before)  [/IMG] | ||||||||||
