    Chris, If you have tiled the black ones then you would have noticed a piece of paper in the box of tiles. The paper is the same size as the tile (600x600). It states that the transit wax should be removed prior to tiling. Do a search on this forum and you will find plenty of info regarding this procedure and what to use. Cheers Sean
