So looking again at normal grout but with a good sealer. But which one ? Its...

    ...Tiling efficiency

    The biggest one for me - when doing any building work is that I am never near a pencil. I did try buying loads and sprinkling them around the working area but somehow they all end up in the same place - which is NOT where I am. I now use one of those retractable key/ski pass things and attach my...

    Dow Corning 785 clear

    Grout after 3 Hours or leave it longer

    My adhesive specs say you can grout after 3 hours although I wont be grouting that soon but if you have no need to grout quickly is there any benefit in not grouting for say 24 -48 hours or will the adhesive dry and gain full strength just as quick with the grout in place

    Dust and eye protection masks

    Based on this thread and the very good reviews on screwfix I have just brought a force 8 and like many of the reviews say I wish I had brought one years ago.
