    What's the difference between PVA and PVA?

    What's the actual difference between these two PVA products? Both say they are for priming and bonding (specifically mentioning wood), yet the price difference is 5 times. Is it that Resin W gives you a 100% bond whereas the Ever Build PVA only gives you a universal bond (n) ?

    What's under my tiles?

Having removed the tiles I'm unsure of what layers I've removed (in addition to grout) and how to prepare the walls for retiling. It seems like the tiles...
