Brian,

As said in the email mate. Thanks for apologising. It takes a real man to man up like that.

And I have to say thanks to all the members that simply kept correcting the advice and not a single person 'fed the troll' so to speak.

As a result, the thread is left online and people in the future will get sound advice. When a thread's tarnished with arguments it simply has to get cleaned up and it ends up with no posts in it.

I bet clueless2 doesn't know what to say now though. :lol:

Hope they got the message though.

Read the rest of the thread mate.

Even a few years ago I was advising the old tap test, and if they seemed solid, go for it with a good cement-based adhesive. Problem is these days, it's not 6x6 over 6x6 ceramics. It's porcelain and stone that even on plaster alone is often questionable!

Nice one Bri, your a Spartan!

Was doing a kitchen floor last week and was in the area again today. Customer asked if I'd call round and see his porch and tile it with the few spare boxes he had. Popped round for a look and it had already been tiled. He asked if I could tile over tile and I told him I'd lift one tile first to see. Beat up one tile and it came up with no adhesive on it, then proceeded to pop the rest up with a screwdriver. Sometimes a floor can seem OK on the surface, but when you give it a poke it'll fall to pieces.

And you may not know how many layers of tiles ther may already be on the wall.
