Tub adhesives / grout lines (Read 2430 times)

jimcam GDPR opt-out	Tub adhesives / grout lines May 15^th, 2006, 1:37pm I've got to use some ready-mixed adhesive/grout tomorrow for the first time. Anything I should bear in mind? I've only used cement-based adhesives and separate grout before. Also, is it possible/advisable to tile without grout lines? The tiles have been picked to match the kitchen work surface so would look better without any grout lines.

Best to use a joint, you can get 1mm spacers. Jason
