Gonna start a new thread for those of us who want to share those little trade secrets, it's in the arms so the DIY can't see it. It's those little tricks that make life as a tiler a bit easier.

Panel pins are great for fixing trim and for tapping into the wall if you have a tile that won't quite stand how it should.

Yup, and same with floor tiles that won't sit in place due to sink/toilet pipes moving them.

Oh, and learning how to say 'NO'.
Still ain't mastered that.

For years I have used a length of tape measures, usually a foot or so long. Just broke off an old tape and I use that to measure cuts, it's easier and more accurate then using the full tape measure every time, especially on small tiles and kitchens etc.
