    Enjoy the TX700; I keep thinking about one but as I have a Tr600s I think I will shell out on a TX900 instead.

    Your approach to the conservatory floor sounds fine. How big an area is it? If it can be tiled and grouted in a day, then use Keraquick (not Keraflex) and grout the same day. Just a thought.

    its roughly 10m2 as its first job im going to be slow so thought the keraflex will maybe give me the extra time needed to adjust and get into the swing of things its not a promblem going back the next day to grout as i have some other work there. what kind of time scale am i looking at with the two adhesives before it hardens ??
