[QUOTE="Time's Ran Out, post: 519261"] A hand made Terracotta - who from. Even with the roughest stuff a fast set flexible thick bed adhesive will do for most terracotta. Personally I dust down and seal all terracotta and stack on edge to dry when they are unloaded. The depth of colour usually depends on the type of tile and make of sealer - again I use a mixture of boiled linseed oil and white spirit. Keep the face clean when fixing with a damp sponge and when completely dry give another coat of seal. Before they introduced sandstone grouts we used to use a soft sand/cement mix to grout and by doing a small but decent area at any time, we never had a problem removing the grouted mix. One of the nicest tile finishes around. This is of course a brief outline and the correct seal mix/ drying times/etc are all just a small part of gaining a reduced maintenance floor which should improve with age. (might change my handle to Terracottajohn.) [/QUOTE]
