I will update this in my boat topic to save going off thread. I found I had problems getting the tiles to stick on the old tongue and groove. Most amateurs use No Nails but I found the quality of this glue pretty poor. I now have laminate glue which is better. White tiles can be dirt cheap and look OK. I got very irritated by other boat people scoffing at my efforts to restore this fibreglass boat and am now determined to show that fibreglass still is a great inland boat. Indeed in the 70's such boats were a majority on the canals and there is enormous pleasure in giving such a boat a new life. Later I will post some pics and one bonus is the GRP won't block transistor radio reception. Tiles were just 13 pence each at Tile Giant and I have a cheap tile cutter (wheel and jaws).
