tiling a shampoo holder

[harley]

Hi Mark,  I am wondering what the sequence is for installing the tile? I start with the bottom tile but what comes next? The back,top then sides or what? I mitered all the tiles and polished them. They look great but I've had to epoxy some of them together since they cracked while polishing. The polishing pads I purchased ( It ilia  4" resin polishing pads) didn't last as long as I thought they would. I had to purchase more of the 80 and 150 grit since they are the ones that wore out fastest. Polishing bullnose is difficult. I used the edge of the pads and tried to use the middle after achieving the rounded profile. Over all I am very pleased and my wife is also very happy with the results. It has taken me a while to complete the work but it's almost done. Thanks for all the advice and tools.

Thanks,
Harley

Harley,
If this is a recessed rectangular soap dish then do it like this:
If you put in the back piece first and butt the other pieces to it that is easiest.
If you cut the back piece so it is mitered and sits on the bottom piece then do the bottom first, otherwise do the back and then the bottom piece.
Then you can either put in the sides with the top last, or if it is a struggle to make it all fit the do one side with the top and place in the other side last

When you have completed this job will you post up some pics for us?

Glad to be of service,
Mark
