    Firstly you would be better if you joined the forum and then any of your posts would not have to be approved first

    Second, have you done ANY tiling before ?

    Third...Dont mention PVA around here....we may have to send the boys around.

    The trouble is mate your postd need approving my one of the mods or admin. Until then other forum members cant see your posts. So please register and get all the info you require.
    The problem with PVA is that when it gets wet it revert to a dilute state and thats bad news. There are a number of special tile primers available at a small cost.
    I would be tanking those areas myself.
