I think if we keep this to a tiling tools only list for the moment so any plumbing tools, no matter how big or small could stay out of it for the moment. We'll make a seperate one in the future maybe. Tiling Tools Starter Kit- 100% coverage floor tiling trowel (thick bed solid bed, maybe a large square notch or similar)
- Large format floor tiling trowel, approx 18", usually.
- 100% coverage wall tiling trowel (thin-bed solid-bed, maybe a square notch for some)
- 80% coverage wall tiling trowel (max 80%, most have slightly less but you have to keep to wall tiling regs for dry areas, maybe a 6mm round notch trowel, maybe a square notch)
Lots of room there for more tools
If you copy and paste the above in to your post below and add anything you wish, then we'll confirm it all at the end and i'll update the original post. This will help all new tilers and even maybe remind existing established ones. | deja vu | | |
