OK guys
Cat amongst the birdies now..... I have been advised by my next Door neighbour to fix wall tiles with "Silicon" he says it is brilliant and really quick, which I know it would be. Comments??

BTW he claims all the best tilers are using this as the waterproofing is all in the grout.

lol, your neighbour is a plonker that doesn't know a good pro tiler then Jon, use a good single part flexible (powder) adhesive (add water, it sticks better, :lolBTW he claims all the best tilers are using this as the waterproofing is all in the grout.

Wow, just wow. Granted, I don't know everything about tiling and likely never will. But I will never give advice unless I am 100% sure it is correct and if I don't know, I find out.Hi guys I almost wished I never asked, here is today’s conversation:
J: is me
TT: is Topps Tiles
J: thanks that sounds great, but I also need some Hardi,
TT: You do not need any, just use ply, B&Q sell it, just up the road mate. ( and I am thought these guys are on comm ??)
J: But I thought hardi was better than ply.
TT: Na,, not really ply works as good if not better.
J: But Ply needs primed and seems like extra work.
TT: Primed? Why?
J: water ingress.
TT: ha ha you grout the tile to stop the water mate!!
J: But I have been online and the consensus is Hardi,, whats wrong are you out of stock??
TT: No we have plenty, if you want some,,, no problem.
J: OK Give me 3 sheets
TT: OK pal.
J: do I have enough adhesive for the Floor Tiles and the Hardi?
TT: Sorry, what do you mean?
J: For the Hardi also.
TT: No Mate you do not use adhesive with the Hardi you just screw it down.
J: I was told it needs a 6mm bed of adhesive!
TT: Why?
J: To secure it, I was told it needed adhesive and screws!!
TT: No,, all you need is screws mate, do you want us to add them to the invoice?
J: No mate I have screws but I thought Hardi had to be bedded and screwed? Why just screw it down? I could do that with ply!
TT: I told you that already mate, just go to B&Q and get a sheet of ply!!
Comments?
