[Wishiwasatoptiler]

Hi All

Thanks

I'll have a look at these, I have a couple of props for batons that slide up and down similar to those on your link but ajustment is a bit of chew.

Thanks

I have tried everything,but gone back to wooden battens.

This is the type I have, is the rubi similar
Just out of interest, what size timber baton do people use, I've struggled to get decent straight stuff.

I use a really cheap product....

It's called the floor...

Bottom cuts in first then tile up from that..

They look like the rubi ones.
I used to use 2"x1" timber. Sometimes still do. But generally it's batten stands and a straight edge/level or I've got two lengths (1 &2m long) of 20mm boxed steel

Depending on tile type, size, sub wall ect I put my datum on half way (ish) and hang them straight down, then peg to the top. Or as @Andy Allen says start with the cut to the floor and work up.
Or if you insist on a baton try the pvc trim window fitters use, Wickes PVCu White Cloaking Profile 30x2500mm Pack 5 | Wickes.co.uk
Won't get timber straighter than this.

Bottom cuts for me, that's where the little red wedges really come in handy.
