@Dan

I could probably silicone 5 tiles together lol but that's as good as it gets. I don't have the tools or the time for this

 

[CJ]

Nice stuff.

Bri.......you must have a bloody enormous mantelpiece.

 

[Alan M]

some cool work there.
customers must love it.
that is some marketing. every body that comes to see them will be shown the kitchen and the matching vase that the tiler made for free



what are ye gluing them together with

 

[Dan]

I think Bri said two part resin on one of his and silicone on the first test one with the beveled corners.

Might be wrong.

Yeah silicone on the 1st one, that wasn't great but, did work. Two part resin is the way forward, really bonds to the tiles.

 

[Qwerty]

Two part epoxy for me too. Trusty old araldite

I fancy having a go, as I salvaged a few pieces from a marble stairs that were being fitted at the house I was tiling.
What's the ivory coloured glue/resin called ? I'm hoping for an invisible join.
Any links to it online?

Well I have that , I'll give that a trial run, I plan to bullnose and polish the corners, and don't want a visible line down the edge

Hmmm, might have a crack at this.

There are still plenty of other heads that need to get involved in this. Perhaps they can knock a St George up.
