Dal-Tile carries Stone Tech Enhancer/Sealer and one made by Aqua Mix. I just used the Aqua Mix on a deck I tiled over the weekend.

Def need pics for that one

One time I had a tile fall down. I thought, "hmm strange, it has plenty of coverage" then I put it back. It fell yet again and I put it back again. Finally it falls and nearly hits me and when I look up to the empty spot I notice a small ray of light shining through the thinset lines. It was...

youll do fine :) The floor looks awsome btw want a job?

The wood round the tile looks sweet, thx for the pics. Nice job! and yes... 12x24s can suck lol

Sanded is perfectly fine on walls. What this person told you holds true only if the grout likes are tiny ( smaller than an 1/8 ).

Enhancer is just that unless it specifies its a sealer also. Bring that back and get a stone enhancer / sealer and make sure it says "matt Finish" to avoid the shine, also make sure it will last more then a year so you done have to do it annualy. These questions would probably be answered...

I found this picture by searching google. Ill post a pic of the one I just finished monday night so you can see it in the niche :)

I try to keep the tile over lapped so water always runs over the edge, grout lines in a box scare me a bit so the less the better (btw...thats a bullnose, its finished). I found a nice blade for the wet saw that finishes the edges the same as a bullnose for only $140 ! Thats a nice look also...

I did another one today with a hatband liner running through the box, I have to get pics of that one next week.

Its all a matter of what you want really. I use 1/8 inch lines on everything I do and yes sanded is fine for 1/8 and larger :)

I worked with a company that installed cork flooring. They glued down luan then corked over it, the application I watched was cork tile. Nice looking stuff and doesnt get cold! It always stays room temp :)

You can tile on brick but you need to skim coat it with thinset first ( like you would drywall ) then key it in with at least a 1/4 x 1/4 trowel. Use VersaBond Flex thinset, you can get it at Home Depot :)

Either or is fine when it comes to a backsplash. I like to use a high grade mastic so I dont have to worry about spacers or it drying to fast. Have fun with it ! Backsplashes are IMO fun to do.

Normally the seat is made first and wrapped with the same liner as the pan itself. Take a look around the web ( maybe the John Bridge site ) and take a look at how a cement seat is made. Its fairly simple and only requires a few cinderblocks , mortar, and waterproofing :)
