Day of the Dead Altar... solution...?

Dear Tile Guys and Gals,

Thanks for the suggestion. What would you use to glue the tiles to the foam board before grouting? I have a 4X8 piece of styrofoam that I salvaged. It was used for insulation. Is this something I...

Bursting the Spectralock bubble

I do not think I would use SpectraLock on 1/16th inch wall joints again (the ceiling was no fun either). We could...

I was reading a recent post entitled "A bit of advice please" and it made me wonder if we had taped our CBU correctly in the shower.
