The bathroom wall round the bath is newly rendered, and I've just finished putting Homelux matting on.
When I offer the bath up to the wall, if the long edge is hard up against the wall, the short edge ends up coming away from the wall by about 10mm, if the corner is snug.
It may pull in a little tighter when I actually fix it, but probably not that much, it's a steel bath so fairly rigid. And anyway to pull it about much can only mean I'm pulling it out of shape.
The tiles are 7mm, so will probably only just make it.
In order to avoid have one really thick adhesive bed at that end, is there any reason why, with the bath out, I can't use adhesive (BAL Rapidset Flexible is what I've been using), to bring that wall, at least where the bath is, a little squarer. Using it now, for the first time, it's clear it'll feather out to nothing.
And then use the tile bed to square it up a bit more.
Cheers
