My dad's old trick for cutting tile straight was actually wrong
Spent 20 years scoring tile with a wheel cutter and snapping it over a screwdriver, same as my dad taught me. Then last month a guy at the hardware store showed me I should have been scoring it three times instead of once. Has anyone else had a basic skill they had to unlearn after decades?

Read somewhere you're supposed to wet the tile first too.

My dad always used to wet the tile first when he did tiling work back in the 80s. Said it helped the mortar stick better.
