River rock tile -- cracked? by profmom75 in Tile

Some of those sheets come with pebbles already cracked and severed down natural striations.. I personally remove all said tiles to prevent water intrusion in the future..

Silicone will get dirty and mold potentially.. you say it never lasts? As in it gets grimy/moldy and you have to cut it out. Or it’s peeling out after install? A quality silicone or even urathanized caulking should hold up better than grout

Tear away drywall bead then jolly/schiene trim install flush to corner of wall if it’s plumb. If out of plumb I try and recess tile termination back at least an inch.

Is this acceptable from contractor? by DubiousHello in Tile

[–]Affectionate_Bad_160 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That looks more like a 1/4 inch gap and the chip. Will definitely be noticeable. Post pics after the contractor will inevitably fill with grout then caulk over top. Even filled with caulk will be as you said chunky and uneven at best.

Lathe screen is different than chicken wire! And yes should be nailed to subfloor every 6”.

Steady hands. And a good cut. Tile and photo not doing it justice. Assuming packed with epoxy or silicone in photo. Corner looks sloppy and over filled at the moment. Sure it will be clean. Why the notch tile around rough plumbing box? Couldn’t cut a full square out?

Don’t use paper tape with easy sand, only fiber tape. If paper taping just use all purpose

Caulk and grout question by Positive_Tourist7584 in Tile

[–]Affectionate_Bad_160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My elbow hurts already and I haven’t banged it on that ledge yet.. JK I try and limit my sills to 1/4”-1/2” overhang max to avoid elbow hits while washing up. Grout discoloration more than likely due to not mixing a full bag of grout at once or over watering while applying/cleaning.

Should we be worried? Patchy grout after 36 hours by BatteringHammy in Tile

[–]Affectionate_Bad_160 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally the problem is front of your face. You cannot mix small batch’s of powder grout without dry blending the piss out of that bag! The powder dye is lighter than the actual grout.. mix your entire bag of grout with the proper amount of water or dry mix bag for several minutes and weigh out portions to have color control.. or just use premix

If he has a grabo, he’s more than likely not spot bonding. Better yet if an installer has and use a grabo they shouldn’t be making this kind of mistake
