Define scribing, what exactly did you do? (thats not meant to sound aggressive by the way, just cant seem to word it another way)
Yeah i am nick. To be honest mate been taught to scribe when i saw a flaw im my fitting. When glueing out well when pulling back it would push back of skirts . Id get my scribing bar and simply run it down with pin. Helpfull if wall runs out.
what do you do with the opposite wall? or you left with scribing the one and referring back to hooking in the opposite wall? always been a difficult one for me as you can only scribe one wall and not the other.
Why can't you scribe in all walls Matt, we normally do by either marking the walls you have scribed and pull up the wall , or use a bent set of dividers, with either a pencil holder type or standard dividers and just pull it back a foot , and back mark the floor
Can scribe in both ends with a bar scriber. I pencil down sides of sheet, put reference line on sheet and floor/next run, pullback till just short of wall, set bar scribe to distance between reference lines. Run down wall/sheet end. Job done. Do it with Marmo if not templating
Andy showed me how to do that last week. good method and it made getting the last drop in much easier.
You can do it on all four sides by repeating the process but makeing sure it's kept square and in line, just make sure you back roll the Lino to reduce the shringage when sticking, either cut it bigger and allow for it or stick the Lino 2 foot away and then scribe it.
Just like to point out that Lino doesn't actually shrink just seems that way ! When fitting lino you need to back roll your cuts tight backing out & rap a bit tape round to hold for 15-20 mins min then when you scribe set your scribers about 2mm short of your check mark.
I can mate, i was trying find out how blinco does it I think trimmer on here has seen me back scribe, template along with a few other ways.
There's quite a few different ways of scribing/ back marking ect.. I often find my self doing something one way & on a similar job do the same thing a different way ?
I pop/pot mark Lino with dividers, I found for me it's the best method in big areas without shuffling big lengths allover and eliminating the chance of em moving.
