in blue tac.The tiles are smooth huega type.I normally use

Post by: rice on January 19, 2008, 06:37:00 pm: Hi guys,
The job was a disaster.Tiles were indeed bitumen backed,but the real problem was the line
of cream coloured tles around the edge.They had been D.I.Ying
with all sorts of cleaners and as you`ve all heard
before,"WE WERE REALLY HOPING THESE WOULD
COME UP LIKE NEW.THAT`S WHY WE CALLED YOU".I heard from the caretaker that other cc`s
had turned the job down,i gave it 2 hrs jut to see
and gave up.As far as water temperature,a blow
torch was the only answer.

many thanks
