[QUOTE="One Day, post: 878604"] Andrew, you and me have had this discussion since the lash clips first appeared many years ago and like you I was not sold on them one bit. The early ones from Genesis and QED had curved based which did indeed pull the tiles up out of the adhesive. I had a dabble and then went back to thinking they were diy trickery, enabling a great looking job with spot fixing. Role on a few years and I had 300sqm of extremely expensive porcelain and a customer who insisted on absolute perfection and a very tight turnaround. I tried RLS clips and believe me, after a few hours finding my feet with them (and some constructive insults from Antonio) I nailed it. They saved me a heap of time, stress and mess lifting tiles to re-bed. I checked the floor was ok, back-skimmed the tiles as usual and used a 12mm notch with wet-ish adhesive. No coverage issues (RLS have flat backs) and a 100% perfect job. Now I don't use them on every floor, but there are times when they are very useful and speed the job up. As for tile quality, I had some £75 a metre mandarin stone planks - 1600x250, in January. For that money I expect flat tiles but these were bowed. Without the clips, I wouldn't have managed any more than a 200mm overlap. I admit the risk remains; Cons: they can allow idiots to achieve a good looking job. Pros: they can allow pros to achieve more in less time. [/QUOTE]
