Hi,
I have seen quite a few posts discussing the merits (or lack of) tiling on tiles.
I have a slightly different question;
In my house the previous owners installed cheap looking stainless steel splash backs. The work surface was set in front of these so that when the spalsh back is removed I will have about 20mm if not more to fill before i get to the edge of the worktop. I was wondering if i should put a layer of cheap tiles down and then put the final layer on top. Assuming that the first layer was held on well this should be ok i guess. How long would i need to leave the first layer to dry before i dared put another layer on top?
The wall is a load bearing one so the weight of the extra layer of tiles should not be a problem.
Does anyone else have any other solutions? I have never tiled before so was going to use the cheap 'base coat' as my practice, another reason for using this method.
Alternativly i guess I could put a thickish board up to space the tiles off the wall. I am still not sure what to do at the edge of the tiles though to get it back to the painted wall level.
