You need to lay tile in your shower, bathroom or living room. food ?
The main difficulty is to perfectly space the tiles.
If you do it with the naked eye, there is a big risk of lag between the tiles!
Fortunately, a tiler friend revealed to me his trick for laying tiles easily and keeping the same spacing between the tiles.
His trick is to use pennies to have the same spacing and be able to remove them easily . Watch:
1. Spread the glue evenly with a serrated trowel.
2. Position the tiles one row at a time, interspersing them with pennies.
3. Once the tiling tiles are glued, easily remove the pieces by pulling on them.
4. Spread and work the joint cement onto the tiling using a joint trowel.
5. When the cement begins to dry, remove burrs with a clean, damp sponge.
There you go, thanks to this trick, you have laid tiles easily and your tiles are perfectly spaced :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
Thanks to pennies, the spacing between tiles is the same everywhere.
You don't even need to use spacers to have joints of the same size between each tile!
Be aware that the 1, 2 or 5 cent coins are all the same thickness, namely precisely 1.67 mm .
For thicker seals, you can use other common coins, which vary in thickness.
Thus, the 10 cent coins are 1.93 mm thick and the 20 cent coins are 2.14 mm thick.
