Hi! Sir, I'm a youngster who has never tiled before and I'm getting ready to tile my kitchen backsplash with 2" tiles. I am pretty handy and I don't foresee a problem especially after having studied your tutorial....it's great! Great tips especially on the internal use of tile spacers. One question??? If i use a white/pale grout am i supposed to use a clear silicone on the bottom seal. If white, then what TYPE of silicone? Keep up the GREAT videos!!!!

[ultimatehandyman]

I would not use clear silicone to seal any visible gap unless it is on for example glass, I would go for white silicone, if using white grout or Ivory silicone if using a cream coloured grout. When choosing silicone always buy a good make that has microban or similar in it, such as Everbuilds forever white, or down corning 785 sanitary sealant. Best of luck with the tiling ;-)

Great workmanship, too. Not just the accent, lol. Love your work, man, you can tell that you take pride in your craft. I'm a painter myself, it's good to see men who have high standards for quality and are a true artist with their craft. Was a joy watching your videos.

Man, I saw your work. At that time, you were not a professional tiler. You did not use trowel well ;-). But keep improving yourself. Thank for your video.
