Tony when i tiled the build last year the intentions were to clean it once again after the build was completed and not before, but at that time i thought i would be nearing the end of it by now. i never managed to remove all the surplus glue last time round, but the liquid brasso is working quite well on it it now, much better than the wadding did, its still takes a lot of work though Thankyou Augie thank you my friend
