[brian c]

Odd........

Bit of a bugger if the tiles are not exactly the same size or square. Didn't seem much of the old twist and slide action to set into the addy either!

i guess theyd be ok with those lil light tiles but i wouldnt like to use that with a heavy tile. the only time i have seen something like that was when i was a 2nd year apprentice and the tradesman i was workin with used a string line for a spacer as it was lil 6x6 tiles and just massive plain walls everywhere

Balls to that, could end up pulling the tiles out when you start removing them!

How would you know if they're lipping and stepping? I need to feel the tile touching EACH tile next to it, to adjust etc

Also, interesting that he used a full tile coming out of the corner!?

I have to admit I can see 1 use, when fixing mosaic sheets you can support more pieces at once, though they shouldn't really move when fixed anyway. I don't know what thicknesses are produced but the last mosaic sheets that I fixed had a 3mm spacing in the sheet. Would look a bit odd to have a 2mm spacing between sheets and 3mm grout line on the sheet.
