well was looking at some fixing spec and saw this in a picture in a thin tile catalogue so asked where i could get one they said down the market so off i went after about an hour managed to find one

 

[Gazzer]

Yes but what is it ?

 

[Andy Allen]

why would you need to iron your tiles......????

 

[Rizzle from the Portizzle]

it helps to make the adhesive spread out better under large format tiles also can flattern out the thin tiles and you could always stick sand paper to it for gypsum sceeds its was only £20 so worth a try it vibrates so i might try it on my belly first

That's outstanding. I'd be to scared to work with such a thin tile that size. Wonder how much a mistake would cost. Yikes!

Once you pay to get it CE marked, then register for WEEE then get the ROHS certification. Import them, pay import duty (non reclaimable) then at £200 you'd be lucky to made 10%...it's probably why none are sold here.

I've looked and looked into electrical items. It's the red tape at this end that's the nuisance.

The items themselves are often very good value for money.
