What we all working on this week ?

[king of pipes]

I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

Cheers

How did you get on with the epoxy stuff Mate ?? It's looking good surprising how long it takes to do a class job

I used it just in the tray area. I used really hot water to clean up and it went better than I thought it would.

The normal groutings been the pain. Leaves little bubbles that wont shift or fill in. Have to wait until set then rub more grout into the holes. I've tried thinner grout and thicker, the thicker mix is slightly better.

I believe that’s caused by too much water on your cleaning sponge

Could well be. I just put it down to the tiles only being 5mm thick as well.

Out of interest mate, how you going to protect that gas pipe? Denso?

I do have Denso tape. But if I am honest mate. I normally use the stuff that comes with trac pipe. I think it is silicone based tape and yellow

self amalgamating tape

 

[Harvest Fields]

self amalgamating tape

Yes mate I think that is it. Not sticky until it is stretched and then it sticks to itself.
[automerge]1606156790[/automerge]
To be fair. Electrical tape would probably do the job.

 

[king of pipes]

Got this done today reworked the pipework from the old rad to under the bay window. Kop
