how many times have you been somewhere and noticed the tiling,then looked at the corners for grout that had`nt been cleaned out properly,a saying i was taught whilst serving my apprenticeship was " what are corners NOT for" GROUT,

yep Doug,but i meant the tilers who didnt actually clean the corners of grout,i have seen loads of jobs where the grout has been in small heaps so to speak in the corners

Jimmy

oh aye, I get what you mean now, I use a glazing spacer to scrape it out, only 'cos I nearly always have one in my pocket!

similar type of thing. when your on the lash or out for a meal do you find yourselves looking at the tiling job in the toilets?or is it just me?

So I suppose the question is no longer: " Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just ...?"

Sorry guys, but REALLY couldn't resist it...
