I'm ready to tile a small tub surround in my rental.. I botched a couple DIT tile projects a decade ago but I'm going to try again. Thanks for the tip!

Genius Sal!! Meticulous work gained by years of experience. Thank you for sharing.

[@SalDiBlasi]

Hi Sal, l look forward to your weekly posts. I have learnt a lot from them and now plan to tile my own bathroom. Be safe Mister. Hey from UK.

[@SalDiBlasi]

Awesome! Thank you!

Another great tip I'll keep in my pocket for doing my bathroom walls (6"x24" pieces, sideways herringbone)! My floor is almost done and I only made a few mistakes. 😁 First time doing any tile work. Your videos have been everything!

Thanks, glad it helped

Awesome tip.

[@SalDiBlasi]

[@petermccarthy4975]

thans for this tip. so does that mean when you get to the wall, you cut the tile 'short' by the thickness of the tile and the little strip so that it matches perfectly?

[@jacobrakestraw3294]

[@SalDiBlasi]

Thanks for watching my video.

[@TheBeardedTiler]

Yes yes yes 🙌

[@andrewgreif1504]

Sal, if you extended just one wall of tile behind the other and cut the mating wall tile the same size as in your example, wouldn't the tile edges still match up as long as your not matching to the end of the tile that is going into the corner, but instead a tile thickness away?

[@andrewgreif1504]

Ok I think I see why, is because the mating wall tiles you are using from the cut on the other walls tile.

[@Fedgery007]

Sal is the best tiler in the United States. I wish he lived in Atlanta so I could hire him.

[@SalDiBlasi]

You have that other guy that claims to be all knowing.

[@tileformiles]

I still prefer the overlap, just made from two separate pieces, but I REALLY hate when people don't overlap, and just leave a huge void in the corner! The only issue people might encounter with the foam is: I bet sometimes the sqare foam corner protrudes past the caulking surface if the caulking is tooled too deep? (Or if you're working with larger spacing?)

[@atkgrl]

So no corner expansion space?

[@Ryan-xj1vr]

spacer trick is awesome! Thanks. Should I start in the corner or the find the center of the stove/hood and work my way to the corner?

[@SalDiBlasi]

Whatever works for you.

[@gwynnemurkin1279]

If your corner wall is not plumb how do you get the tiles to wrap around and come out right?

[@SalDiBlasi]

You can't, make it plumb.

[@MohamedAlkhafa]

Genio sal

[@SalDiBlasi]

[@tomhassall1974]

Are you cutting the stater wall tiles short in the corner for the foam spacer?

[@icheko2498]

Hey Sal, I'm not a tile guy so please don't be offended, but I wanted to know. When the two tiles meet in the corner how come you don't continue the line straight with the herringbone? Why does it look crooked? Is it not possible to do that or is it better for the herringbone? But the project looks great👌!

[@SalDiBlasi]

It is a corner, it has to turn.

[@icheko2498]

@@SalDiBlasi sure I get it. But for the purposes of the question, is it possible to make lines look straight if you wanted it to? Or is it always going to turn out crooked when doing herringbone? Just want to know before I decide to install this was way?

Sal! I made my shower pan mortar bed but didn’t have enough mortar, it has dried now, but can I mix up some more mortar and pack it on top of the existing bed? Max depth needed in some areas is 1/2” .... thanks for your help

[@SalDiBlasi]

Use thinset to bond the two.

[@angelabrandonsantacruz4596]

@@SalDiBlasi thanks Sal

[@17henke]

Without that foam... would the joints open up more as you go up? Cheers Sal top man

[@SalDiBlasi]

Foam is just to help you position tile and keep it aligned.

[@jayholmes36]

What happenig with the grout joints? good tip but the grout joints are 0mm to 3mm!?!

[@1kreature]

How do you remove it again after it has cured so you can add the code mandated flexible joint for the corner? If house moves from cold, settling or anything that corner is going to crack with just grout in there. Even worse with a solid piece of tile.

[@SalDiBlasi]

Watch it again, you are overthinking it.

[@alexvasquez8884]

What kind of thin set will you recommend to use for cement board on walls to install tile , thanks

[@PoisonJarl71501]

I like custom pro lite. Light weight, strong and sticky

[@richardwu3610]

Can you send me a link for where to buy the corner foam?

[@SalDiBlasi]

Custom cut from some kerdi board.

[@taniatemple4093]

Could you add a short video or view of your placing the tile in the corner from your view, please? I couldn’t quite see how you place the tile in the corner. Thank you in advance.

You as an installer make this happen. Clean prep work

I have to say I don’t understand this at all. In my opinion it isn’t very clear. But I’m not a pro so that could be why.

[@tomasherak810]

Mate thats so wrong as you went through the corner , looks shit , if you do 4 walls how are you going to match them ? Most of your mastic finish in the bath tube , you are the one of those who is doing it easy way for tiler bot for good look mate

[@SalDiBlasi]

You make so many assumptions. Check out my channel then you can come back and tell me again how I don't have a clue. I can wait. By the way mastic is not used in a wet area.
