Tiling an outside pool

[lucius]

Not really a pool its a 3m by 2m and Im deep water feature built from block my job is to render it and tile it with mosaics, done pools before in Spain but my problem is the weather even covered up I cant see the render drying out enough to tile it and obviously needs to be done before any frosts anyone got any suggestions or is there an adhesive available sutiable in damp conditions.

Bet if I had asked can I use PVA I would have had an answer by now Lol.

All you need is tubbed adhesive... it is called the none setting floating bed method.. this method allows it to move with the water flow.. and each year you get to re-tile it and it keeps you in work...

Or was that John wayne who said that ...

Nice one Dave, does the tubbed addy need to be tile and grout or just normal Wickes tubbed addy.

Well if you want to overkill quality , then it has to be tile and grout but you need to water it down to go further..

PVA .. nah only the rich use that IMO.. some flour and water and a tad hairspray is what i would use.
