    cool, I had to take my showerstone tray back for another so I swapped the metal washers for plastic, bought some stainless screws and replaced the 4mm boards with 6mm ones. Picked up some S1 keraflex so i'm good to go!

    6mm boards were about £8 each. Can only buy packs, 8 in each pack.

    100 washers were about 11 quid

    marmox silicone is about £4 a tube
