Just thought I'd ask the pro tilers on here how you measure and mark up your tiles.
I find once I've transfered the pencil marks onto the tile I have to run a strip of brown packing tape against the marks so I have something visible to cut against. :lol:
I can't see any of you guys doing that but if I just use pencil it washes off mid cut. I would love to see how quickly you guys can mark and cut a tile. I've ordered a couple of tile pencils from Trade Tiler (along with other goodies!) so I'll try those out.
I work mainly with ceramic and porcelain (80% ceramic) in my bathrooms not much large format.
I use the bulky wet cutter for everything but should I buy a decent manual cutter? Do you guys just use the wet cutter for thick tiles and corner cuts etc.
I do find I have to keep buying tape measures though as the markings wear out. :incazzato:
