    Slc over ditra

    I've always used Slc then ditra on top but I'm on a job and another tiler does it the other way, ditra and then Slc. What's the drawbacks doing it his way as I'd prefer to do it that way as ditra is a pain to tile onto. Surely it's ok as you can Slc over ditra heat.

    Large Tilting Slc Bucket

    Hello all. I've got 110m2 floor to level and it needs to be spot on for 1200x2400 porcelain. I've seen large dustbin sized buckets on wheels, with a tilting mechanism, so 4/5 bags of slc can be mixed in one go. Anyone know where i can buy one? Thanks in advance.
