    The MLT is expensive. I think it was being made in Italy for awhile but might be here in the states now. Any system you choose to use is a good investment, but some folks think these make a poor tiler a good one, not really the case. But it does make a good job a great job. Just stay away from...

    Best Deal Supplier's

    I know a member here posted about it, so I would say for stone, you can not do better than the MLT system. It costs more than most, so may not be a good idea for 1 job. They offer rubber feet (added cost) to prevent scratching. I would just say to stay away from any system that requires twisting...

    Quarry Tiles Flaking

    I ask because quarry is very porous and if it was sealed long ago, though 3 months is not long, unglazed will allow natural moisture in. I don't mean glazed like porcelin or ceramic, some quarry has quite a shine to it, it is more dense on the surface. Solvent based sealers get further down into...

    Quarry Tiles Flaking

    Tile On Or Around Bath

    Always tile to the bath. I didn't see it posted, but it is a good idea to fill the tub with water before you Silicon the tile to tub transition. The water will pull the tub down, giving you the biggest joint to fill, and prevent you from having to go back because the Silicon seperated.

    Wooden Plank Effect Floor Tile

    I agree with setting them random, but I did one recently and had some joints too close. That would be my only warning, Make sure you don't set joints too close. Looks bad with tile, not with real wood.

    Chipped Porcelain Tile

    As said, cut out the grout, cut groves in the offending tile with a grinder, remove tile, put in new tile with grain matching the one above so all 4 looked planned and ready grout. Simple thing really...but the very last thing I would do is start smashing it with a hammer....

    And while most here on the forum prefer it, you should know it comes with metric numbers, so either mark your cuts or get a different tape measure.
