Sainsburys tile spacer appeal!

[mattnotfat]

I bought a pack of sainsburys tile spacers in a tube (600 x 3mm) last year, finally got round to doing some bathroom tiling with them and now they're discontinued - sainsburys can't find any in any stores.

The annoying thing is I turned them horizontal to get a thinner mortar gap then pulled them out as adhesive dried. The gap is less than 2mm and having bought spacers from collinsons, b and q and wickes, I can't find anything with the same gap. Got another 4m of tiling to do and whether I do it or a tiler will have to be done 1m at a time as I've only got 300 left.

Anybody have a pack of these they can sell me? Or anyone know who makes the same ones?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Why not reuse them?

Well, I may have to. That's what I meant about only being able to do 1m at a time, need 3 spacers per tile, 14 rows x about 7 tiles each row. Makes it a long process as they'll have to be removed and cleaned up each time.

Have you tried Homebase? Are't they part of the Sainsburys group?

Ah, didn't know that. I had a look on Saturday but they were all out of all sizes. Will give them another go. Thanks for the idea.
