Hey guys,
Sorry if this is in the wrong place. It's the one that seems most fitting.
I've hand painted a ceramic sign and I need to make it waterproof, what varnish can I use to do that?

Has anyone installed some of this as instructions say to use a 5mm/3/16" adhesive trowel but doesn't say whether it should be a vee or square notch. I would of thought vee notch as I think there would be a lot more adhesive with the square notch. Also 5mm seems a bit deep to me and I reckon...

What makes this so expensive? £37 for 10metres of 12.5mm tape which you then spread adhesive over. Can anyone tell me what it does and why it is so much more expensive than homelux tape which is 5 times wider. First time I've used Wedi and can't believe how expensive the 'extras' are.
Also when...
I'm not a professional, just a housewife at the end of her tether. When living in Oz I found out it was building regs that to tile a wall, shower or splashback it had to have a waterproof membrane. It was explained that tiles do expand and contract to a certain degree and the damage from a small...

Hi, I am about to fit and tile a new shower area. Web comments on how to ensure it is watertight seem to conflict with each other and I'm now more confused so I'd be grateful for some expert advice.
The three walls of the shower area are:
1. new stud
2. old lathe and plaster
3. internal...
Hi Folks,
Would really appreciate some help here. I have limited knowledge but have taken some advice to date.
I believe some small amounts of water is penetrating my bathroom shower grout or unglazed tiles. I know ideally I should start again and get a competent tiler to redo the job, but...
Hi,
Has anyone come across an orange fibre sheet that you put onto walls to make them waterproof and then tile on to that? Apparently they use in America.

I have a power shower (just fitted). The assistant sold me two...

Hi, I'm about to tile a small bathroom floor and have been advised by the man at Topps that it's OK to use their 2 part flex adhesive either side of their waterproof membrane.
The original floor is T&G floorboards which appears to be in a solid, stable condition with no perceptable flex.
