B&Q 600x600 Polished porcelain black

You can't see the wax let alone scrape it off. You can't leave a mark on the surface either like you would expect to in a wax. I think the term wax for these tiles is being used very loosely. The tiles are not as dull as i was expecting either.

Walk away from the job mate it just isnt worth it. But if you do it then check the calibration, last time i did B+Q rubbish there was a 2mm difference nightmare job !!!!!!!:furious3:

Well said! The wax is more of an oil - not to be confused with the stuff we have to pick/scrape off tiles. It needs chemicals to shift it - not a scraper!!!

just a small worry with your wording.. you are thinking of sealing the tiles "after grouting" if any grout is applied to an untreated tile it WILL stain the tile so proceed with caution or be safe & seal the tile prior to laying & allow 5 + hours for the sealant to fully penetrate the tile it will dry very fast on the tiles surface but takes time to be fully dry & absorbed into the tile..

Regards Phill

A freind of mine has just bought some of these damn tiles! And guess who gets to lay them.... Not my ideal 1st job! :mad2:

If i seal these a couple of times before laying, will i still need to seal them again before grouting, or just after?

Also, he wants a 1mm gap!?! I've told him that he ideally needs at least a 3mm gap (maybe more if the tiles vary hugely), but he REALLY wants a 1mm. Is there any way this can be done?

Cheers for any help
