Patrick, i did write a comment the other day, but deleted it, as i was stating the obvious, and we both realised it was going to result in a loss of your hard work (partial loss anyway), i presume the wales will go on next, and then rework the waterline, i used Medium c/a and even removing the tiles leaves a lip of glue that needs removing before you can place the tile next to it also have you done a covering over the tiles, which will affect the colouration All the best Kevin -
thats an interesting point, i took the photo from Gil Middleton's build log

i think the card that you are using is briiliant, prior to glueing , are you making a duplicate for the other side?
