Afternoon chaps

I've got a job coming up and the developer has spec'd the use of lash clips on the floor tiling. The tiles are 600 sq super white polished porcelain, 2mm joints and he wants the clips to be used to ensure no lips/shadows etc. Aprox 200mt area with a huge glass wall and bi-folds etc.
Now I don't normally use them so havn't a clue if they are worth using but he's adamant they are to be used on this job as its spec'd by his client and they will be visiting site so my question to you is....

- What system is the best?
- Is there a nack to it? Wetter adhesive?
- Is it going to slow me down and should I charge more for the faffing about and not just for the clips?

Thanks in advance

Craig I think Antonio has been misunderstood here. He uses the Ramondi original brand which are of a more brittle plastic and if you have positioned them correctly they sit vertical on the wedge, if not then something is out of alignment. I've used both and the Block clips are of a more flexible plastic and bend over the wedge when you tighten them. I think Antonio thought you were using RLS and was maybe trying to offer advice :)
Above is two pics of both types I used this week on a job if it helps explain what I mean better :thumbsup:

Think I'll change to these with the wedges, really rated the genesis straps but only on second job with them and found I'm having to throw quite a few of the re-usable top clips away as there not gripping the straps, wonder if I should complain..bet I've thrown away 20 out of 100 #disappointed :(

Actually no I didn't, just pulled them off and put another one on, you can actually hear the difference when pushing on, they don't click the same, ive got all the dodgy ones in a bucket though, so could give it a try turning them round if you think that'll make a difference..
