    Priming screeded floor

    I am looking at tiling porcelain wood effect tiles and wanted to use Ardex x7 onto a sand/cement screed. I called their tech helpline today to see if Ardex P51 should be used. The advise given was no primer is needed just clean floor hoover etc. Does this sound right?

    Tanking drying fast

    I've only ever used tilemaster tanking kit so I can't comment on others but what I am finding it the paste dries so fast on the walls, when it comes to applying the corner tape, you need to really paste up the back of the tape or you have no chance. You can literally paste the whole wall with...
