    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...

    Tanking Days Before Tiles Go On, Is It Ok?

    Bathroom will be tiled soon, probably upto a week from now. However to save time I dont mind tanking the over bath area myself. I have bought an aquaseal kit, in the various steps listed it says a minimum of 6 hours between first and second coat of tanking membrane. Hence time wasted around...

    Hardibacker Tanking Question

    the bath has a 18mm ply covered in 6mm hardibacker behind the taps, concrete rendered wall/window by one of its long sides and a shower screen along the other. as the shower will be spraying away from the hardibacker wall, is there any point in tanking?
