My buddy who does tile work said he cracked a corner piece last week using a multi-tool on a small cut. Swears by his manual scorer for anything that needs a clean line.

That binder at the Archon meetup had a point about animal glue. It stays flexible for decades, which PVA just doesn't do over time. Maybe he was rude, but the old school method has real staying power.

Classic, @terry_torres40. Good work gets punished now.

Honestly that "way out of square" wall is just part of the job. Tbh you should always check for that before you even buy the tile. Sounds like poor planning caused the extra time, not the wall itself.

Honestly I saw a video where a guy did almost the same thing on a Tacoma. He used a long pry bar through the tail light hole instead of drilling. The big thing he talked about was making sure you seal that access hole up real good after, or you'll get water in there and rust it out from the inside. Your method with the bent tip sounds smarter for getting right on the crease though.
