Never do work for an engineer !!!!
They think they know everything !!!!
And will drive you nuts !!!!
Seriously....if you see one coming towards you hold a sheet of graph paper..RUN !!

I worked for a aircraft engineer he went over everything with a magnifying glass at ome point he pulled me over 1mm discrepancy over a 10tf span I had to stop him and say Mr burgess this isn't a aircraft wing it's tiling and to be fair he did let me do what I do after that

vinegar for epoxy?? what is the use of that mate? i guess some chemical reaction?

You put a cup of it in a bucket of water, then final wash down with plain water. A British mosaic installer based in Aus told me about it.

when measuring cuts I use a metal rule covered in masking tape and use it as a marking stick. Much more accurate and quicker. I do the same with a wooden folding rule for larger cuts.
Just replace the masking tape when theres too many marks on it.
