ABSOLUTELY,, That is specialised knowledge that other tilers don't have!I assume there is a demand for it( I know I would snap a copy up) There is nothing out now on the market so I think it will be an exclusive thing. That paper that you wrote is fantastic and very factually descriptive,and I can only imagine a whole books worth of info!! Now if only the Victorian specialists on this forum where thinking the same thing!

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Nah! Got to keep it specialised otherwise it will go the same way as stone - everyone's an expert!

 

[Ceramico tiling]

I agree with what you are saying..but as things get harder and people get more skilled,someone is going to write on someday.The royalties could be yours.:smilewinkgrin:

This has been my way of thinking for years John ! it was passed down to me from the I-tie's who taught me the Tricks to give me the edge, but i'am 53 now and very established in the pool industry ,and as said it would be a first and there is usually money in being the first, i would like to help genuine tilers with some history in the trade, but not give knowledge to the wannabes & fakers out there , the tiler on the job we are halfway through gave me his business Card the other day , and on the front is yes a very good picture of a swimming pool, it says he does everything under the sun! and he is a pool specialist LOL so why is he not tiling the pool that they have got me in to tile? uh-uh i was to tied-up with work , i have this situation all the time on jobs ( and i would prefer this ! than a guy just having a go and causing upset to the customer by going -off half cocked ) so a book would help proper tilers get the job done to a high standard of work, rather than being laugh t off site or worse kicked -off ......

you can write a book about pool tiling etc but you do not have to give YOUR tricks away .. Every tiler has his/her own tricks of the trade..( own ways).. and you can take them to the grave with you
