howd it go,howard?

ive not done it yet i will try on monday i called my local ctd and they did not have any lithofin in stock it cost about £27.00 so i might try acetone first

just to keep you all updated i could not find a shop that sells acetone so ive not managed to get rid of the marks yet ive finished the job and the customer has not noticed i will not leave it like this ive got a tile with pen on to test anyway when i got there monday the lady complained about the dust from my wet cutter she told me ive not cut the tiles right i should have water in my cutter to stop the dust (they are travertine) so i told her i have to dry cut or they might stain she said well the builder who's working here tells me they should be wet cut so i said why dint you get him to tile seems he knows so much it really annoys me how builders know everything:furious3:

Howard mate.....nail polish remover is Acetone...that's why i said try that.....:lol:

 

[howard]

yes but its not pure acetone dave its diluted

as far as i know pure acetone is a harmful product so you wont get hold of it.......so nail polish remover is the next best thing......did you have a look for that paste i put up....?

yeah i tried my local ctd on friday they recommended another product but did not have it in stock it was really expensive so i will only buy it as a last resort and as for pure acetone i worked on a chemical plant for 8 years before i became a tiler they used it there all the time so i might be able to get 1 of the lads to get some for me
