Banister, spindles not been fitted yet.

Thanks both. Chibs, What adhesive did you use for the ditra? was it same for the tiles? I am looking at using Tilemaster Setaflex Standard Set S1 Adhesive for both. I may use Tilemaster Anhyfix for the Ditra though. I may ask the next question on another thread as its slightly off topic...
