    I think you might need to ask a few more questions before you start to tile.

    Have a good read of the forums and find out what those questions are.

    This tile seems to be doing the rounds - something to do with the price tag. Just finished another big floor of it this week and the wax is a pain in the backside.
    Fix the tiles first, but remove the wax and seal the tiles before you grout. First time I used the tile I tried the B&Q recommended QEP products - don't waste your time. Ever since I've been using LTP power stripper with a white emulsifying pad to remove and MPG to seal the porcelain prior to grouting.
    Hope you've got a good supply of elbow grease as well

    LTP Grimex to remove wax then LTP MPG Sealer will do the job. Remember to seal again after grouting. Available at Tile Giant, quality products and a small price to pay to save a lot of headaches.
