[Time's Ran Out]

In 1978 during those hot dry summers that we used to have , Ardex used Navy divers, X7 white on a tile in a plastic bag and took it down to repair.
Those days of water shortage, hosepipe bans and sharing a bath are sorely missed!

I heard BAL recommend sticking the tile in a bag and then rip the bag open at the bottom but I guess if it's loads of tiles it's just best change the filter the next day or whatever.

Surely the.pools full of bits of tile and cement after....

We used to have a water vacuum that would suck up the bits of tiles, it wasn't great but it did a decent enough job of capturing the bigger bits then the pool had a time to settle, then a floor sweep was done and hopefully the filtration system did the rest.

The owner of the tile refurb firm became a millionaire, very quickly.

That's how I always thought it was done...seems different methods are acceptable and work.. as is this case
