finished the tiling today ,so just half-day grouting the floor tomorrow , then i have got to start prepping my next pool by acid washing and power washing it down ,taking delivery of the adhesive witch will be X7 this time with E90 liquid additive as this is an over tile of pool & spa with a very nice mosaic /tile from original style,and a Black grout from ardex FS.......oh this job is in Wiltshire so i will stay away most of the week

Are then Original Style mosaics meshed backed or paper faced? The last OS mesh backed ones I used were very tacky.

Sharon , they are joint-point there silicon dot carrier system, they give you 100% contact with tile , insted of mesh and carrier-glue, they have had big problems i have heard, i will not use meshed-backed anymore........

Oh that's very interesting Dave ! i will have to see if i can get-hold of a copy, it's a subject that i fined really important to my work , as getting a proper bond between tile/addy is paramount to the success of my work......& it form's part of the trouble job i have spoken about, what does my head -in is the suppliers are quite happy for the tilers to take the blame......... then slowly introduce these new carrier systems, so what about the thousands of m2 that are already installed in pools across the world and the owners of these pools ??......
