....ooooOOOO ( Red and yellow and pink and green.......orange and purple and blue...... I can sing a rai........... Ummm...... )

Sorry but I had clarification from some bloke on this forum that swirls is bad and straight lines is the way to go. He's pretty good at what he does, so I believe him 🙂

 

[Old Mod]

This is a one day seminar @Mapei UK Marketing?
And there are just the two dates left?
Do you have next years dates available, that will probably be too little notice for a lot of our professional members.

Not about Ray surely?!

I was simply pointing out that the advertisement for the 'training' day has a picture of adhesive being spread in swirls rather than in straight lines, it was meant only as a bit of tounge and cheek banter, jeesssss!! 🙁

Our pleasure. As soon as the 2017 training calendar is confirmed we will post it up for your members.

Excellent thank you.

How about a forum day at @Mapei UK Marketing ? Maybe also covering some of the newer products?

That sounds like a plan, we've done bespoke training days in the past so a 'Forum Day' (or days) could be an idea. I'm assuming you'd be looking at 2017 now? Leave it with me and I'll run it past the training managers and come back to you.

 

[Mapei UK Marketing]

We are pleased to announce the first six ceramic product training dates for 2017.

If you are interested in attending simply call 0121 508 6970 (option 4) or email [email protected] for further information or to reserve your place.

We look forward to meeting you.

That's a cool video, I am waiting for a tile shop in Cardiff to give me a date when I can go on site to shadow a large format installation team.

Thanks for sharing the video. It is a great adhesive. Very long pot life and nice viscosity.

Laid a few more recently. Was bloody heavy lifting them above the kitchen joinery
