hi folks, Im a new tiler (done a course in Oct 2007). I have done around 10 jobs and all went well (came to Australia for a year last December and am home again in a week) and I really enjoy tiling.

When I get back from Oz i wanna continue with my tiling business and i really wanna learn all I can about tiling. Anyway, first off I want to learn all there is about adhesives/grouts so I get a better understanding of how they work etc. I have a general idea but i really want to get clued up on it all.

Is there a link or any pdh files anyone has that I can read that'll help me?

any help is much appreciated. cheers

If you want to contact theadhesive companies directly the larger ones run courses on their products combined with their application. Ardex, Mapei, BAL various others. Not always shown online as its country specific but they actively promote them.
