Whats the best advice or tip you have gained from Tilers Forums

[Scott]

As the tilte suggests what is the best thing you have learned from TF? and from who did you learn it?

Mine are as follows:

Cutting metal tile trim and using a piece of timber to hold it steady in the box. I got this from Deano

To buy a Montolit, from Aston Ed

When dot and dabbing plasterboard putting a tram line ont he ceiling and floor to make sure the boards are flat on the wall. I watched a mate do this once without this method and the wall was awful! Thats advice was from Aston again.


I think they are my top 3, what are yours?

Without joining this forum I would not have found out about the NETT course, and I am so grateful.

As to everything else, it's too late now and this page is not big enough to put it all down, but I appreciate this forum every day....

Before joining this forum I knew little about decoupling and hadn't even heard of anhydrite screeds. Anhydrite in particular is becoming more common in my area and I've done a couple of large jobs on it (total 500 sq. mtrs) and am currently looking at another two. I think it comes down to being able to discuss it with some level of knowledge gives me an edge over others. Decoupling I can also discuss with confidence knowing the principles of it's uses to a reasonable degree.

Can't give credit to just any one person but more to the forum and it's organisers as a whole

Agree with Gisela and Sandyfloor - too much to mention just one or two bits of advice, or those providing it. This forum has helped me massively in my work and has without doubt made me more professional when pricing up jobs, as I can speak with confidence about issues others dont even mention.
Whilst the course I went on was good for practical knowledge, there was nothing technical mentioned - so this has all been learned via this fantastic forum
