Hi, this might no be the best forum for my question so feel free to move!
I have some copper water pipe covered by rendering, they are wrapped in denzo tape covered with duck tape but some of the (greasy?) stuff is leaching in a couple of spots. My question is what should I do prior to tiling to prevent this from staining the grout in the long run please?
Cheers, Pierre

Re: denzo tape
dont thick the carp will be coming from the denso tape mate...probally the duct tape...
if you want you could use a waterproof membrane around this area..dura wp/ditra/homelux etc..there is also the paint on gear from bal..etc..not a great lover of the paint on myself mate..

Re: denzo tape
Iv'e never had problems with denso, and by the way it doesn't need gaffer tape over it.

Re: denzo tape
Most unlikely to be the Denso tape, you don't need anything with it either.
I would look for other problems.
What pipes are they and how are they wrapped.

Re: denzo tape
Most people put the blade in a junior hacksaw in the wrong way.
The teeth should be facing the hand so you cut on the pull stroke, that way the frame tightens the blade as you cut.
