hi all
i need some help and advice
i am tiling around 2 shower pipe fittings. as the measurements were intricate i was practicing on off cuts and trying to create a template. I've noticed when i drill holes into the tiles sometimes they would crack. i don't use any pressure or drill too fast. anyway, the good news is that i have created the template down to the mm. however when creating the template a bit cracked. when i go on to making the holes on the proper tile i don't want that to crack, as i'm running out of tiles. why is it cracking and what can i do to prevent it
method: in this instance, i used my workmate bench and clamped it with G clamps around the tile. i clamped them enough to hold the tile steady, as opposed to over tightening the clamps.
thanks
