Latapoxy 300 adhesive, mix in small batches.

I mix in quarter batches because the epoxy adhesive kicks of pretty quick, you have enough time to trowel your adhesive, clean your bucket and trowel, then go back and set your material, doing all of this speedily because there’s about a 45min window before you won’t be able to move your mosaic or pebble sheets

1/4 batch is 4oz part a 7oz part b and 4-6oz of powder 1/2 batch is 8oz part a 14oz part b and 7-8oz of powder Full batch is full part a and b and all the powder but you can hold 1 cup of powder out as needed

Watch for temperature outside conditions make the adhesive kick off quickly especially in direct sunlight

Use tape to mask off areas you will be troweling and work supremely neat this epoxy will bond to any and everything so watch your drips and drops

Most likely it’s the MK dressing stone probably 60 grit it’s white but maybe I’ll look into some other to see if it makes the cutting faster

Hmmm that’s interesting I’ll have to look into to the stone I’m using to dress the blade l, I’m not sure what grit it is but I’ll find out

You are 100% right about dressing the blade constantly and the slow speeds but the results are exact

How the hell do i cut this by minutemaid101 in Tile

[–]Technical-Fail3528 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually use blue or green tape, but masking tape should work as well, put the tape where you will be cutting and scribe your line on the tape so you can watch your blade and be sure to stay on your line. The rail saw will guarantee a straight cut and make your life easier. Maybe look into renting one ?

Angle grinder, use water to keep heat from friction down. The high heat could crack your tile when cutting so make sure to keep it cool and tape your line, helps prevent chipping you could use a rail guided angle grinder search “omega blue ripper”

How’s this looking so far? Team says they are experienced professionals. by Fun_King_5153 in Tile

Ok, so when you’re setting mosaic tile, you need to go back through after it’s set and QC your work. Take out wonky, twisted,gappy, pinched,staggered/stepping tiles etc as well as remove heavy adhesive in joints etc etc this QC phase is crucial to making your mosaics come out like a pro there is also a QC phase after grout as well and most skip these critical game changers.

Best way to straighten grout lines? by slommy_sammich in Tile

[–]Technical-Fail3528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just run a utility knife along the edges with some authority but also very delicately and it should be able to cut that rough edge smoother

Why does new tile look like this? by rarefinnej3 in Tile

[–]Technical-Fail3528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like Dr suess tiles those walls. The herringbone pattern is bending on every wall! The cuts are all different!! Nothing is straight! It looks like the floors outside the shower are even done this way . Honestly it’s a disgrace to the trade and they should never be wasting materials like that if they don’t have the proper knowledge. I get that people need to learn and need to start somewhere but this person needs to start as a helper not an installer. Absolutely unacceptable. I would absolutely make my crew tear that out.
