What size would you like? Unless you want the tile to look like a bad wood floor job I'd suggest making them as narrow as possible; assuming that to be 1/8 or less, you'd want to use unsanded grout. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.
