to be honest i dont know as i was only looking for extra depth and what i cut was goimg to be covered by the socket (as much as i can remember was not bad)
have you got an off cut to try it out on ? your tiles are thicker than mine as mine where only 100x 200 kitchen tiles took about 10 mins max but did use 2 of them in that time not that i was trying to use all of the cutter as i cant see me using them again for another 10 years

Primed the windowsill and poured the leveller. It doesn't look like I put in enough as there appears to be a dippy one end. I will check it out once dry.
I went to the office and picked up 3m of aluminium extrusion to use as a straight edge, then I cut it short for some reason. So today has been two steps forward and one step back, likely trying to get too much done in a day.

Well this is getting a bit OTT now. I poured another coat of leveller, went in perfectly and looked good. When I checked ten minutes later, the dips were back in the corners. Looks like there must have been holes there which have just drained away the level. I can't put any more in, so I will just have to try adjusting the level when tiling.
That done, I poured what was left into the hearth that was miles out. I carefully dammed it with a large piece of wood and some Plumbers Mait to seal it. I poured it in and then had to chase the puddles where the seal was inadequate. Also the level is now too high against the existing tiles,

id have just wacked bonding plaster on it and just leveled it using a float then its to thick to go down any holes
When my mate re-did his downstairs loo he drew an oval on the wall. When his wife asked what it was he said "That's where the urinal is going"
Her response was very polite.......not

Hopefully, the small bits of tile at the right top corner will disappear once the grout has gone off to pale grey.
I actually prefer the new tiles to than the originals!
