Hi Tony I am laying 22mm thick Truststone flags and need to cut to a feature that is 1.1M radius.
Is there a way of cutting but also retaining a natural looking edge.I under stand how to do it on an out side curve but am worried if not done properly will lead to broken corners and waist of an expensive product.
Also Tony the maufacturer recomends coating base of each flag with PVA and cement solution,is this really necessary?

Cutting internal arcs ... and then fettle the edge

PVA as a bond bridge: I know that it *is* recommended by Stonemarket, but no-one has successfully explained to me *why*. The usual lame explanation is that it is alleged to prevent picture framing and damp patching, but it doesn't!
