    Hi Sharon,
    
    Usually ebay for reclaims, or jackfields for new made. Mattonella does a nice range of replicas too.
    
    Cheers Dave.

    Hi Chris,
    
    I've not used kerapoxy before to be honest. I normally use a tenax translucent polyester fluid resin, I drizzle the resin into the holes and let them wet out, then when firmed up slice the majority off with a razor blade and polish perfectly flat. Stonetools.co.uk are a great source for resins. Cheers bud!

  I have not been on one yet. I never really considered them until seeing some pics of your work. And to be honest they are about the nicest thing that exist within the field of tiling .IMO,,even 'cooler' than Victorian pathways.

    I'm around 2.5 stone lighter than in my profile picture, due to recently losing a load of weight. Business is going very well, we do a lot of grinding and polishing and restoration of old floors. Do you come across many concrete polishing projects?
