Great video, lovely job. Could you fix porcelain tiles over a concrete step using just priming slurry - no mortar / adhesive?

Yep that’s what I’d do that stuff sticks anything you could stick a tank down if you had enough. Go for it 👍🏴
For the returns I usually cut a tile in half and mitre the edges on stacker stone and you get a much neater finish and a nice continuum.

Scott, on the corners. Marshalls do a corner pack, 150mm wide for the ends. Did you cut your end ones from the long 600mm sections , and if so then won't you run out of prepared end sections with a suitable Z to interlock with the ones on the front elevation. Will it leave a lot of waste veneers with straight ends either side of them left over?

They didn’t have any of the corner packs when I bought those veneers so I just made my own corners on site and yes there was of waste but it always is 👍🏴

Another great video Scott. Can I ask where you got your flex saw and guide rail? I’m after a new method of cutting porcelain pavers. Currently using a 4 inch angle grinder with porcelain blade but I struggle to get perfectly straight cuts and sometimes they splinter along the cut. Any advise or recommendations welcome. Thanks

Hi Dominic I actually use a table wet saw too depending on the length of the slab but it’s good to have the flex too as it’s very portable up against the table. www.uktoolcentre.co.uk/products/flex-cs60-wet-1400-watt-230-volt.html?sku=945150&gclid=Cj0KCQjwlN32BRCCARIsADZ-J4sZOp0kAVryp6kWqo4CN1NOsUU7v7Fp3fnZ6aVhLSUJVgbLk-uoJqYaAg22EALw_wcB

I clamp a metal I beam and use 9" grinder, perfectly straight cut. Very expensive otherwise, if I was pro I'd would definitely invest in wet saw and table saw as per Scott's suggestions.
When I installed the walling stuff I painted the hole wall with the primer and just put the glue silicone on the tile and stuck it on any suggestions on doing it diffrent

In relation to the crack on the wall that the tiles will cover.....if further subsidence happens, would it damage and crack the tiles, or pop them off the wall? could you have stitched or pinned the crack n the brickwork to preserve your own hard work? Love the vids 👍

I agree the bottom of tile coping at top of wall looks unprofessional and unfinished. I hope the customer goes through with it and paints it. Glad you discussed that with the customer before the job started.
