Use the spaces below the first row that should help with easy adjustments and give the gap opened a key for the asphalt to catch.

5. on the level of

Then you can completely remove them after the glue has set up (typically after an hour or two); Ensure that ?????? is set to strict before removing them. Clean excess glue is not between (and) the tiles before the glue set.

9. the best cuts

Then mark the back of the tile in the tile fixed previously. Following the signs to the front of the square; You can always place a tile spacing before cropping.

10. get around things

When you cut around shapes embarrassing use profile meter to get the outline, select the square and with a measurement. Alternatively, create a cardboard square when you first and happy the match.
