    No grout joint...... forget it.
    BS states 2mm minimum so be careful.
    Make sure the wall is strong enough etc too.

    I've only got half the batch now, as there's a pile on the way to TJ for his ceiling.

    also heard about a lot of gulf stone coming into the country from china with a higher resin consistency these also tend to buckle and lift from the adhesive would definitely use grout especially if its near a radiator
