It’s a wonder you got that tile up without breaking it

That’s why they weren’t bedded fully Ian, still difficult tho, well it was for Gary, we just watched him struggle!

Must have taken an age easing it up is your tile vibrator thing good?

We actually did fully bed the next, and Ray drove over it some 4-5 hours later in a forklift totalling some 5000 kgs to show a Chinese delegate that was visiting how we did it here.
They lay everything in s/c.

We dont use them anymore, we both have a Volpino now.
Yes they’re very good, bloody hard work on walls tho.
Be interested to know how effective the new Monty version is.

Don’t work with anything else now Mark, I even turn down regular work on the same job, much to the annoyance of most clients.

Prep is vitally important the back ground needs to be perfectly plumb and flat also capable of withstanding the weight you are going to be attaching to it, I did a 900 x 400 porsanosea tile recently and its amazing how much weight goes on the wall and yours are even bigger, I would say a 2 man job and use a levelling system . Kop

@Waluigi does 12by6s on his own and I take my hat off to him!

I do a lot of this size but admittedly I need a second pair of hands

Definitely take their toll on the back! I think my trapped nerve is down to then

Was literally gonna post a picture of a tiny violin earlier when I read it but though it wouldn’t be well received coming from me

........but though it wouldn’t be well received coming from me

Then perhaps change peoples perception, so that it is acceptable coming from you. #justsayin.

Well,that’s one thing we have in common
