[wayne]

Phil I used to work for a company in Crewe called Sgl acotec or ancorite.A lot of the lads I know worked a kemtile as well you may have seen them around. Used to love it but hard graft. Most of the lads I worked with have retired now only a couple left working.

[afright]

The old tilers I trained with referred to this type of tiling on a slurry screed as the swedish method,but some of them.would not make a slurry mix they would coat the screed in dry cement and wait for it to dampen then trowel it getting a slurry.

A bit DIY for me, super Mario did not cut the mustard, peppering the screed, not good practice, the reliance on screeding machines, rather than the real skill of screeding is Raimondi all over.

To be honest the real power vibro lads would laugh at that video

I think Neil was in charge when I worked there. I worked with Trevor chawner and his gang. Old John Mann taught me if you ever met him

No Wayne, never had the pleasure. But 25 tons of ready mix at 8 am.was daunting, every day for ten days.

Money was good, did take it out of the body though.
