Rustic tiles porcelain

[mickyc]

Evening everyone

I am doing a kitchen splashback tomorrow and it was supposed to be 6x6 ceramic and when i got there today he had changed his mind :mad2:.
The tiles are gemini 108 rustic porcelain the question i have is i only have 2 mil spacers will these look stupid with these spacers or should i pop to bq nearby and get some bigger ones ?.
Any help appreciated .

id get 3mm spacers to be honest

Because these have wavy edges and they probably will want them brickond, i would get 3mm and take 2mm and you decide what is best as you might have to do it a bit by eye, and dont forget to use adhesive designed for porcelain, and flexible grout.

He has not mentioned brick bond so i,ll put that to him tomorrow i think he has seen them on the boards display as straight runs .
But they do have wavy edges loads of them hence me asking about the spacers .

Regarding adhesive i have collected 1 tub blustar from ctd and the porcelain tiles are 108 rustic will this be alright for these .
Not layed any yet but ctd stated this would be ok and i have just looked on bal site and white /blue / and green tubbed are no good .
Will the bluestar not work at all ?.
I have primed all the area with bal apd /.

No use powder adhesive such as bal single part flexi i would also use 3mm spacers
