How much adhesive needs removing between tiles & covering a chip

Hi,

Looking for advice mainly on how much adhesive I should remove from between the tiles in a shower before grouting. I stupidly didn't remove a lot of it before it thoroughly dried, and while there is room to put grout in the gaps between tiles over the adhesive (in other words, the adhesive doesn't fully fill the voids), there is quite a lot of adhesive in the gaps as you can see below, and the inner edges of the...

 

Sealing limestone question

Hi all,

We had an outdoor limestone patio laid at the start of June (finished circa 07/06/24). We are yet to grout it. I'd like to seal it before doing so and I have bought Lithofin Stain stop. I have read a lot regarding its application however I have received conflicting information about when it is best to do so. I have been told that waiting to seal it doesn't matter/ we need to wait 13 weeks/ we need to wait a year to let it effloresce etc.

Gemini Polished Eagle 60x60 brown tile

Hello

I'm about to buy 37 sq mtrs of Gemini Polished Eagle 60x60 in brown for my kitchen and hallway. Can anyone tell me whether this is a good tile. Or if anyone has laid it in this colour. Was thinking of either the brown or ivory but the brown seems to work better in our home.

The price I have is £28 a sqr metre I apparently is a good deal?

If I go for the brown, would you agree that limestone grout is the best choice?

Many thanks...
