This may sound entirely too simple, but vinegar and water is the best. It is a very strong acid and is very affective. In fact it is so affective you cannot use it on any type of stone or it will etch it. So be sure you are cleaning ceramic or porcelain and not marble or granite.

∙ 15y agoIm not much off a handyman type of person but to clean try *mr clean* or to remove just try vinegar, paint removel and it a little mr muscle. The acids usally come off and clean itself then, at your local hardware store ( mitre 10 or bunnings warehouse) buy what is called a scraper or them steel wool things. Both excellent! I tried all the different teqniques but they just didnt work. Good Luck with the job though but it will be over soon!! ----

What is the difference between paper backing mesh backing or film backing in glass wall tile?
The difference between the three are as follows: Mesh backing: is a fabric mesh that is applied to the back of glass mosaics. This is commonly done on glass tile that is not transparent (not able to see through). This is important because after you install your glass tile on the wall or counter top, you do not want to see the mesh backing after installation. Paper Faced: this is when you have a transparent glass that you can see through, most manufacturers are applying a paper face on the FRONT of the glass tile. After you install the tile and the adhesives dries, you wet down the paper facing with a sponge. Let the water penetrate for about 15 minutes and the paper facing will peel right off. Clean any excess glue film from the paper face and finish by grouting. The only downfall to paper face is you cannot see the tiles through the paper face. MAKE SURE you have the right tile before installation! Film Faced: This is similar to the paper face only slightly better. Film faced is a clear facing that allows you to see the tiles, and pulls off a lot easier. The film facing is more like a sticker over the tile. It is much easier to pull off the film facing after installation.

Is kerli a pagan witch?
It seems that she or her promoters are expressing some level of paganism or wiccan ideas. On the wiccanspace website they have this endorsement of her "walking on air" music video: "Check out this vid!!! the woman who sings and preforms in it is the best artist in the music world, ever!!!" In the video the themes of black and white, interchanging, she receives a doll "gift" and becomes the puppet. The white lady carrying her? I dunno, but it looks like a statue of "Diana" in the hallway. Oh and the stag. Black and white dress, black and white tiles, black and white birch trees... lots of symbolism there... just look it up. See http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Artemis_Louvre2.jpg
Name the top five tessellation artists?
Well their is alot. Says my research I found a couple, M.C Escher used tessellation for woodcuts and produced many superbly crafted landscapes as well. During his life, he became obsessed with filling the plane with pictures that did not overlap or leave spaces. Moorish used a few shapes and colors of tiles to build complex geometric designs. Archimedes used combinations of 2 more different regular polygons to show its possible to produce eight semi-regular tessellations which was named archimedian tessellations after him.The sculptor John Robinson has also been inspired by the mosaics in the Alhambra. He has produced abstract sculptures based on a tile that forms a tessellation known as the Andalusian. Roger Penrose, who designed tessellating chickens based on his non-periodic Penrose tiles.P.S If You Have Any Questions Forget Ask ASK ME @harajukubarbiehun.com@gmail.comSigned,Chyna F.

"Grout is the stuff you apply between tiles to seal them in place. Grout tiles once the adhesive has dried fully (24 to 36 hours later). The best grout is waterproof and mould-resistant; some come ready-mixed. Use a grout float - a rubber-faced tool with foam backing - for large areas. Spread the grout across the tiles at right angles to the joins. Use a damp sponge to remove excess. Once the grout is dry, polish the surface with a dry cotton rag." I was taught by a contractor to apply and clean the grout diagonally.
