What's the best (I really mean easiest) way to finish the top of tiles?

In other rooms it's grouted but getting the right angle or whatever seems to be a painful excercise to achieve.
Advice? Tips?

I think you missed the boat here. I put it in my office bathroom, its great, easy to clean! No grout on the tops to worry about. By the way…. nice feature tile, I used it a few times when they came out! As for now, with what you’ve got, not sure. In the photo, it looks like you have something there other than the feature tile…..what is it?

The sign says "Yes they work but please do not turn them on" Taps were installed before the shower screen and we had a party soon after. What do you think a drunk friend would do with a tap and a shower head pointing at them during a party? Re: Finishing the top of tiles 5Sep 10, 2007 8:30 pm I didn’t see the sign….da on my behalf!
Did you party in the shower??? Mmmm interesting!

It has a pointy end and a square end, and this cleans up those annoying corners where grout sits and looks ugly. They're normally used by plasterers, but in my opinion every tiler should have one.
This was my #1 tool back in my days as a tiling apprentice (lots and lots and lots of grouting). Lotte Thank you for your reply. The square set is where the wall paint meets the ceiling paint, the sheen is the light reflecting the poor cutting in. On some parts of the… 4 1853 Building Standards; Getting It Right!
