hi guys
Been tiling and plastering for over 35yrs, just been asked to do a swimming pool. I rendered it out some 3 months ago now ready to tile it with mosaics. Any advice regarding what primer to use and which adhesive and grout are the best would be much appreciated
Thanks

Having seen a thread about re-tiling a swimming pool it made me wonder (as I have in the past) how exactly swimming pools are tanked.

Can anyone recommend suppliers of anti-slip floor tiles for round an indoor pool?
Can anyone advise whether I need R11 or R12 slip rating?
Thank you in advance,
