practice wall

[scribbler]

Chipboard painted with yacht varnish makes a good practice substrate. Holds just enough to fix tiles with a cheap ready mix adhesive and then grout, but not too hard to strip back and scrape off ready to go again and again.

If you nip down to your local tile training centre, they should have some training adhesive that they might sell you..

Then ask all of your friends and family for any old tiles they have knocking around. Its amazing what you will get to free up some space in their garages!

I look out for the buggared sheets of plasterboard in Wickes - may be no good to use in the real world but 50p a go its alright for a dummy run in the shed/garage and they are more than happy to get rid of it.



Good luck with it.
