    They show Mapei adhesive in a bag - but that's not in the bucket.
    CSI gloves - they are always big - but this lads were heavy duty gloves.

    I think you're all missing the the biggest fault. The smug half smile on that guy's face when he finishes .....wants punching imo.

    Are there any videos you'd recommend that show the right way to do floors and walls? Less fun I know but more educational for those of us aspiring to a job well done.
