  • Priming a wall for tiling

    My partner is planning to prime the plaster wall with PVA before tiling. I think he should use a proper primer but he says it's a waste of money as we already have some PVA in the house. Who's right?

    How can I safely break tiles?

    Hello. I have a quite unique art project in mind but I want to be safe in doing so. I’d like to break tiles into tiny little pieces and then glue them to a bare globe to make the shape of the world’s continents… how can I do this safely, from breaking the tiles into bits and shards to applying them to the globe. I’d encase the globe after or keep it in a high place so no one tries to spin it and cut themselves. Maybe it’s just a year and a half of this pandemic, has driven me to boredom haha, I am retired so I’m trying to find new hobbies. Anyway, I won't use up any more of your time. Kind Regards.
