finishing the laundry sink – part 3; two steps forward, one step back
A notched trowel spreads the tile mastic. A bullet level and a 2-foot level help to make sure everything is… um… level.
Hm, this is easy. I should be done in no time.
I wanted tight grout joints. 1/16″ spacers do the job.
Hanging the edge tiles
I didn’t want to edge tiles pulling the top tiles out of whack, so I let the top tiles dry for a day before I hung the edges.
Dry time
Caulk is all you need to affix the backsplash to the wall.
A little dab'll do ya
Despite the best intentions of the level brothers, Bullet and TwoFoot, I somehow ended up with some uneven joints.
Damnit
So, I yanked out a few tiles, used a scraper to remove the dried mastic, and re-set them.
Why do anything just once?
Ah, grouting. What have we learned about grouting? That time of day is a factor to consider.
Don't grout angry. Don't grout angry.
