Humor me for awhile How do you transfer your scribe marks from your patern to the material after this? Tell me what you actually do Do you hold the scribers against a straight edge I have already asked where I am heading for the next question :) Think a bit before you answer and why I am asking

What about sanding, scrapping the surface of a scrap of the Marmo with thick sand paper then mix up with that PVA Wood glue? You coulld end up making a big pile of it, I think you call it doffa? Goes darker when dry Wipes off with water

Looks good Were any of my ideas any good or do I shut up next time :) Trouble is if not are not laying a certain product all the time you loose "the Knack" or remember how you can make easier for next time

Thought it would be all over by now we would get paid about NZ$320 for laying the Marmo :) I would be looking at setting the marmo up rolled loosely inside out along the doorway wall, as long as you have cut it in neat, Un roll so that it hits those bits sticking out and the opposite wall, pull...

I would have folded a foot or so back on the angle then pushed firmly the back of the Marmo into its self to get rid of the end curl and that should shrink the Marmo a fraction as well, then cut the Marmo, the flatter you can get it before you start makes life easier trying to glue it, helps on...

Hope you left it back rolled for while as that should make it shrink a little When learning 55 odd years ago all these products of that vintage were hard to lay tight fit so we learned to get things right first time so having tools which needed being set up just for us re the bend to make sure...

but the salesman told the customer it would come up easy so why are you taking so long?

Also never come across that Would not be nice to lift if new vinyl going down but the salesman said it would come up easy

Not talking about the legs Everybody here was taught to use scribers with solid legs then bend the last quarter inch or so on one leg to make sure the point hit the wall not the the side of the legs Would like to see one of those pins bent out slightly so the pin tip actually goes against the...

Do those points get close enough to the wall, we used to have longer scribers and bend the point on one side out a little so that the point actually hit the wall then use the bent side against the straight edge when transferring to the material threw those scribers away years ago now...

Have I been getting it wrong? is there a join on the left as well? Hard to read your numbers etc from here? :)

NEVER GOING TO WORK YOUR WAY, THINK ABOUT IT 1 how are you going to get the marmo to flat so you can scribe it with those toe spaces? 2 how are you going to get those shim rock out pieces with the glue there if they havent already fallen into the middle of the glue 3 We would never pre fit any...

also i would cut the marmo put then us the same pattern to mark the underlayment out slightly smaller so it drops in, place sure quicker than measuring then joining the dots to find nothing square or straight pulling out again to trim bits off

Roll it inside out as this will get the curl out of the roll Make paper pattern of whole room using an 18 inch thin straight edge, not a builders square as they will not bend up crooked walls, used to use sharp pointed dividers as well drop into place, fold back at least half, glue, push...

I hope you dont have ants over there? :) Hope you are a young fella as your back, legs and knees arent going to be happy using a plastic scrapper? :) You arent doing a toilet or bathroom I have one of these on the left with real rough sand paper on it which the speed of the machine it will...

Diamond grinders get pretty close 6o the wall then use a tungsten scraper I know as I have had to go around the walls after they have ground the floors to get rid of the drop off

Cant see that working as you are going to get millions of slimy sticky dirty water running out the garage door onto your drive and elsewhere Thats why I suggested Diamond grinder as you would end up with a pretty clean floor with no plastic around the walls but what does a lino layer from New...

Saw them at Vegas years ago If you want to shift a larger piece of vinyl just flap some air under it Wouldnt waste my time and I have bought some products which look good ?at the time Going through my wagon there is heaps of rubbish there which will end up in the bin never been used Any offers...
