    I’ve made some slight measurement errors and ended up with a relatively large joint/gap between the top of my Hardiebacker board and the ceiling (see pic). The joint is 12mm at its widest. With the other walls, the joint was much smaller (~2-4mm) so I’ve been able to caulk those, but I’m not...

    Grout haze over walls and floor.

    Hi I've just finished grouting my porcelain tiles with a grey grout. I gave them a good sponge over but now they're drying there's grey haze over the tile. Do I just wait for the grout to dry then go over with sponge and water again or do I need some kind of acid based product? Thanks
