customer strange looks

[LM Ceramics]

went to quote a job (just before i go on holiday on tuesday) in manchester they were porcelain floor tiles roughly 60x30 matt finish porcelain tiles anyway i got there went through all the normal stuff and i did the test to see if they needed sealing so i ask if he had any tomato sauce he said yes why so i put a little bit of tomato sauce on the tile anyway they didnt stain.

the look he gave me when i was doing it was hilarious

[Fekin]

Is that really enough to get a stain in such a short period of time though ?

Does the box not say polished or glazed ?

[mart1]

I always thought coke was the worst ( Coca cola ) for stain testing ?

[brian c]

never heard of the tomato nsauce test lm

[LM Ceramics]

glazed i think he only had the 1 tile (sample) he doesnt want to pay for the sealer

i left the ketchup on the tile, i suppose if i get the job he will tell me whether the tile has stained

[LM Ceramics]

the house was empty he only had tomato sauce so i use that

[Fekin]

Well it won't stain if it's glazed, only if it's polished.

[LM Ceramics]

thats what i thought butive heard a few people on here say they seal everything apart from ceramic

i thought i best check anyway

[Fekin]

The glaze acts as a barrier, and as far as Im aware no sealer can get through the glaze to seal a glazed tile.

Forget Tomato sauce - You should try some of my local curry sauce.

I had a takeaway delivery and the sauce stained my white zodiac counter top yellow. Permanently.

I'm now thinking of rebranding the sauce and selling it to the tile industry as a testing kit for tile staining.

I tried some reggae reggae sauce from your good friend's (the den) investment - and I'm sure when Levis Root was selling it to the den he said it wasn't hot!!!!! What a lie! It's roasting!!!!

I had one of those reggae reggae subs from subway the other day, was less than impressed, didnt taste hot at all, god knows what they've done, i usually love reggae reggae sauce.

Perhaps the dragons told him to breath some fire into it...

I know they had plenty of fire for me!

Peace and love dragons... Peace and love...
