Waste,
What do you think about duraleigh's comment about feather edging? I have read that before somewhere else.

Duraleigh,
Wouldn't I run the risk of chipping off plaster under the cut line? That is why I was hesitant to try that option. When I saw cut around the pool under the tile I did not expect to have portions of plaster come off, so it seems that it would happen again? Thoughts?

Cheers,
Dave
