This particular DIY will definitely inspire other individuals to experiment and try out new things with slate tile aside from its usual function as a flooring option.Franceshttp://www.360flooring.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6445525077694788224.post-71685816512581634112010-11-18T17:55:05.551-08:002010-11-18T17:55:05.551-08:00nice post!nice post!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13748533588205334951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6445525077694788224.post-69906820395466447192010-03-01T03:23:41.730-08:002010-03-01T03:23:41.730-08:00Shannon if you are meaning to thin the edges with ...Shannon if you are meaning to thin the edges with chipping I have found a very small pair of wire cutters (also known as side cutters) is the tool that works best. I put tape on half of the jaws to prevent it from scratching the upper surface. I rest that side on the shingle and the other side of the pliers I use an upward pulling motion against the side of the shingle to lift off chips. Takes a a minute or so of practice but it is not difficult after you get the hang of it.<br /><br />Thanks for the award.Karin Corbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558132883050492387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6445525077694788224.post-83620389443874150582010-03-01T01:28:22.654-08:002010-03-01T01:28:22.654-08:00Hi Karin.

Now a normal slate roof will last 100 years, at least, so I wonder how long this one will last... Sure to outlive us all!Lizehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17616797456948582117noreply@blogger.com
