Mitre External Corners in Porcelain Tiles

[Old Mod]

Wow. Have got the mitringitself down but filling a mitred corner really is a dark art, can't get the full answer anywhere. Have asked myself before and seen many other posts where the question is half-answered.

The reason you believe the question is only half answered, is because there isn’t a definitive answer!
Can you imagine how many resins there are in the market place.
Ask 10 marble companies what resin they use and you’ll get 15 different answers!!
There’s many variables that determine what to use.
Full epoxy, polyester, environmental, colour, experience, cost, application, personal preference, working time, U.V. tolerant.
That’s why you get half answers.
And believe me, it costs a small fortune to experiment with all those variables.
It’s nothing personal, it’s just an almost impossible question to answer.

This video may be of some use to you @cornsack, equally it may not but it made me think of this thread.

Thanks Tony! Love watching any master of their craft.

I have a little experience from free-handing corners with plaster and even lime renders the old-fashioned way. That is a skill let me tell you, I'm certainly not the best at it but looking at the associated techniques maybe I'm worrying all in vain!

Did you find the colour you needed from the waters group?

Thanks for input everyone.

Think I am going to use my white grout on this occasion. Seems adequate for this particular situation I think and I also need to make a start sooner than I could get anything delivered. Might pursue resins for future projects though.

Some of the techniques look similar to that I have used to form corners by hand on plaster, render, etc. so I am hoping that will give me half a chance. Who knows, might be easier

Can we see some before and after pictures?
