    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 Junction

    Hi guys Just like your opinions on tanking onto the top of a shower tray. I currently seal the tray against the wall, mid way down the thickness of the tray. Then seal along the top of the tray and wall. Let that go off. Then tank onto that sealant followed by then placing the 'bandage' over...

    Tanking

    How come that the showers that I tile do not fail? I have probably used a tanking system about 3 times (one job, Media City specified all the shower enclosures to be tanked but not the bath/shower combos) on separate jobs. None of my showers fail and I have tiled on every substrate and used...

    Preparation Grout For A Wetroom?

    A year ago I had a wetroom installed, I was told I could use it within 24 hours of it being completed. Unfortunately the plumber didn't brace the tray properly so within a couple of weeks of using it the grout cracked and the tiles came loose. Nothing adhered to the tray, so 100% adhesive was on...
