havent been on much in a while and was ordering some kit from tradetiler and noticed he has new stuff and was looking at those lash clips for lipage problems i know there is a debate about the use of these and other simular ideas has anyone tryed them and do they speed up the laying of tiles not a bad price seen other one that cost hundreds only £16 for a pack!

I have absolutely no idea what these are, but i'll watch with interest...

*goes off to check traadetiler*

i saw them the other day and you beat me to it

i like the idea and to be fair if dave has got them it i trust him

they will work flatness is the thing i struggle with the most, so i will be ordering some with my next lot

Has anyone used the LASH clips yet? Do they compare well with the Tuscan Leveling System ones? Looking at the video, I was a little bothered by the amount of adhesive they might be leaving behind on the tile face - more especially if you are sticking stone down. Any thoughts?

i'm only at the looking stage like you guys, sounds a good idea

I've had a little look at the TradeTiler site, and to me, although they look like a good innovation, i can't help but think they are just gonna add time to the job.

Was wondering if you pull a tile up would it leave a slight void underneath, whereas you would usually lift it and add more sticky. be interesting to see how people get on with them cos they look a good idea.

It worries me for quick fixes for tiling, as mentioned the voids when pulling up a tile

thats what I think then it wouldent be a solid bed so whats the point

could be interesting on not so perfect tiles (bowed) ill wait till someone comments

they won't be on my next shopping list

ive not really looked into this but with regard to voids,if your worried mark the potential voids and wet fill with wet addy ie pre grout prior to really grouting,ok it aint perfect but it fixes the void.

we all seem worried about the voids i wouldnt advise it on a badly warped floor but surely if it reasonable flat a lash clip moving 1mm or 2mm to get level wouldnt make a lot of difference if you back butter and are using the right floor trowel some of the more experienced might disagree it just would be nice to get a floor perfectly level i do struggle on large floors and have ordered some from dave hope its not a waste of money !

Why doesn't someone ring Dave at TT for his take on them because he wouldn't have bought and stocked them if they were rubbish

i doubt dave has used them,but i would value his opinion.

I think they could save a lot of time on something like large polished square-edged marble or similar. We all know that sometimes the tile may sink a little bit which means prising it up and resetting it, with these surely it can't sink after laying. I might just give 'em a go.

I've still not got around to trying them........ but still thinking about it!!!!!!!!!

used these the other day on 600mm square edged porcelin and found them really good
quite pricey but well worth it

I have used before.they can not help u to sort 10 mm lipps but r all rite 4 small.I use them 4 brickbond as well. Quite handy I like them anyway.little bit more work to take them of the joints.ment just crack to remove but they dont.Btw u can get them in B&Q.

They work quite well,have used them for quite some time now. If your doing a large floor though your fingers will get really really sore from pushing the wedges into the slots and pulling up tight. I would also like to see the legs that go under the tile be made straight, rather than having a slight radius which forces the tile to sit higher, then you add your wedge and apply pressure to force the legs straight. Breaking off the legs the next day after the glue has set is really easy.
