After many questions on my story video showing this 4 point star I decided to show how it's done. My explanations aren't always the best, but it's pretty easy to do this.
I love your content definitely helped me in my tiling journey I learnt tililng walls from the second row first from your video and Ive never done it any other way since. Perfect level base to start from every time. Thankyou
Hey Bob, you do some awesome work!....here is hopefully a good question, I have darker tile with dark grout on the floor and a whitish marble looking tile on walls, the question is where they meet at the floor line what color grout should be at that joint using bright white grout on the walls?
That was my thought also, I fell the white grout would just stand out too much against the darker floor.....thank you so much for your opinion Bob.....🙋♂️👍
I recently watched a video from you that was around 2 years old that was about a cracked drain that possibly caused the leaks. In it you said the wall tile installation was done wrong due to them spot buttering. I am a carpenter by trade and have done a good share of tiling over the years and when it comes to any large format wall tile that is how I always install them. Granted I do symmetrical spot buttering. For example, on a 12×24 I would use 8 dollops. I've found it to give me better control and also allows me to set tiles plumb on an out of plumb wall. Question is why do you think this is an incorrect way to set wall tiles? Just curious and thought I'd post here rather than on a 2 year video. Thanks!
It is incorrect because it leaves voids, we are trying to adhere as much tile to whatever surface we're putiing it on, you cannot do that with spot bonding. It's an industry no no is the short answer.
@@StarrTile I understand that on a floor this would never be acceptable as well on a shower wall. I am only referring to vertical dry areas. I've never seen a failure so far but like a said I build houses and typically sub out the tile. Thanks for the reply!

I love it, I'm going to try something like this in my bathroom, I'll send pictures when I'm done.
Very cool design idea! That 3D look tricks the brain!
As always, I'm learning something new from you.

You should watch to the end of the video.. 😏
I would use the darker grout at that intersection, but that's just my opinion

How would you suggest to keep the vertical white grout and the horizontal dark grout from innermingling?
