you can take the pasta out The rest looks good

Thats why I thought I would try and help you Vinyl has dropped off here with ceramic tiles, of which people find too cold along with hard to walk on compared to vinyl Also laminate has got a market share. Carpet tiles go into office blocks Still hard to find a lino layer, plenty of carpet...

Gee this is hard work:) The idea of preshrinking/ back rolling is that you get the material to shrink before you cut it NOT cut it then preshrink it

I told you right from the beginning pre shrink the Marmo to make it shrink :) From what I remember Marmo didnt want you to back roll it either but hey if it works for a better job I will keep on preshrinking the Marmo along with a lot of other products. These fibre glass/plastic backings dont...

How did I know these things when I wasnt even there? :) By preshrinking helps it from shrinking when you roll it up to get into the room in the room, also when you pull back the Marmo end for end it to glue it it could shrink again. We tried to tube the Marmo instead of pulling it back end to...

highup another couple of thoughts Did you back roll the Marmo tightly and leave rolled up for a long time? Did the Marmo fit before you glued it? I presume you pulled back the Marmo end for end to go it?

Yes that strip covers the Marmo The job looks good Did you preshrink the Marmo first? Also you can cut the Marmo in tight on the ends then force the Marmo into its self to get a tight finish Another thing you get every now and then when the the Marmo is exposed to the air when opened for awhile...

Did that capping strip cover the Marmo slightly or was it one of those with a but finish?

Thats why I would never do it as an up stand last as its too slow and hard to do. If the floor is wavy I would use a pencil to get the worst of the waviness then use the floor material to hide any gaps Have you tried these hook blades as they are very good at following the cuts in materials...

zannej you wont have trouble with snakes and other nasties here so therefore we will see you soon to do work around here :) The weather is starting to turn, had heaps of rain the other day something like 2 weeks of rain in 2 hours. Thinking about lighting the fire to keep the cat warm

Looking good When do you want to start here zannej as I am still not up too much :)

Dont your glues just wipe off with a damp cloth? The glue doesnt have to be pretty just kinda smooth also just push the marmo into the glue with a damp rag no roller We use garage carpet here to paint on glue as that carpet doesnt unravel the threads, cheaper than paint brushes and come 12 ft...

I would stick with the marmo glue as its probably "thicker" I use a bit of carpet to apply the glue to cove areas Should not need sealant and I am not programed to use a sealant as there will be no gaps :) Also did you try mixing up marmo scrappings, dust with a wood type glue?

Insurance companies here are getting very picky insuring coastal properties and this could make things worse https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2022/03/18/antarctica-heat-wave-climate-change/

Gee you must have extra long arms as I could not reach the wall behind the tub let alone to try and lay the vinyl even by making a pattern of which I didnt even attempt :)

Had a few in the older do up houses and been asked to lay vinyl under them aint gunna happen Why not get the vinyl put down then install the tub?

Looks like it could get pretty rough there

Maybe not much choice in an area like that. I like to put factory edge against factory edge if possible instead of a saw cut and out of sight like having to look along a join like moving it to one side We dont use much ply here we use MDF which moves a bit from the moisture in the vinyl glue...

You think it was 1998?
