i hate tile spacers

[tony TLC]

plastic crosses my pet hate you either put them in flat or poke them in 2 per tile
how many times have you seen little bits of plastic sticking out where grout should be:icon8:
i use parcel string myself 2mil gap lovely and neat and easy to keep straight and will not use the spawn of satians spacers
is it just me useing string as its an old and simple idea(like me)
just wondering:martini_shaken:

Do you buy in short length or cut it up yourself?

 

[tony TLC]

Don't you hate it when someone is selling to you,whatever it is.You say "what do you think it will cost" He sais Oh ha ha ",how long is a piece of string."If ever confronted with these people ,tell them IT IS TWICE THE LENGTH AS IT IS ,FROM:wink_smile: ITS MIDDLE TO ITS END,then promptly show them the length of your front path!!

Don't like to see string hanging out of any gap,can only mean trouble.When 'our peg' is due on,that is the only time we both agree on something.That something being,we both wish I was dead!!!:whatchutalkingabout

On flat walls spacers arnt needed if using a good none slip adhesive.

 

[tony TLC]

i always space tiles i cant trust adh only i like stright lines so i use string to space them

 

[trevortine]

In all the time i have tiled i have almost always used spacers on walls and rarely on floors.Try using rubi long legged spacers, have never had plastic visible once grouted.

 

[Varley]

I use spacers on all walls and most floors.

 

[kapitan]

only puffs use spacers on floor tiles!!!

 

[Varley]

I also wear tight leather trousers and a yellow hard hat when tiling...whats your point :icon10:

 

[kapitan]

[trevortine]

I agree kap, how often do you get floor tiles that are all exactly the same size, layed 16m2 kitchen floor this afternoon in 2 hours including all cuts and cutting door facings, went out to van had a tidy out couple of **** went back in grouted, job done, not a spacer in sight!!!!:shades_smile:
