    Paint-on tanking products for floors

    Is it correct that paint-on tanking products for a floor require more than one coat, with subsequent drying time between coats? If that's the case, would I be correct in thinking that a waterproof matting product adhered to the floor timber before tiling is quicker to put in place? Thanks.

I used my thumbnail to pick a bit off then proceeded to peel it like an orange - that’s why! So my question. If the...
