When using a rapid setting cement based grout, for the first time, on a very hot day, don't decide to get a brew on and stand around talking about the great new foolproof jointing method you've discovered!!:blush:

when digging clay or cloggy soil keep dipping your spade, shovel or fork in a bucket of water.

When using a two part epoxy jointing system make sure the path in which you walk to and fro on is kept wet as the resin stuck to your shoe will stick to any dry paving

When core drilling thick paving or walls etc use a small compressor to blow the dust out of the cut.....works great and stops the core bit from jamming....wear a mask though.
