    I was reading a brilliant post earlier about NOT using PVA before tiling. I was very engrossed but my laptop decided to have a moment and crashed. I was a gas engineer/plumber for about 20 years and the tiler in our crew put up and down hundreds of square metres of tiles using P.V.A and even though I have never tiled, I often thought whoa!, that looks dodgy now I know. What should you use if not P.V.A ???

    Thanks for that Jord86. Our tiler only put 5 dots of adhesive on the tiles, every time I tried to drill a hole in one to fit something, the tile shattered it was a nightmare

    Then he’s either old fashioned with no real idea or an idiot.
