Cost-Benefit Analysis: Tape vs. Thinset

Tape! Why didn't I think of it before?! It turns out that taping the tiles to the wall is faster and far less messy than using thinset to cement them to the wall. I suppose it doesn't look quite as nice, but it's soooooo much easier. I'm not sure yet how it will handle water, but it should be OK right?






















(I'm kidding of course, the tape is to keep the tiles from sliding down before the thinset dries.)

So absolutely awesome!!!!!!! One wall nearly finished.

And - yes - I think tape and water work well together. But on the bigger wall you might want to use thinset:) Just use the thinset that was holding Rudy's tale in place :)

I am pretty sure that this wall is dry now.
