Alreet guys

Started a job today, two small bathroom, underscharged cos its a 3 day job and not a two day jon i intisipated. Never mind


Done the main bathroom today. Even grouted in the same day. Do you think this was a wise move. only wanted to do it today was cos i got my Washboy today and was itching to use it

There was only one tile that was slightly moving so im hoping now it will set tight and the grout will keep it down. :whatchutalkingabout

the second bathroom has floorboards but because its so small and the floor boards are secure im gonna tile staright onto them. I was gonna ply it but the cost of more ply is gonna reduce my profit so am also this is gonna be alright

topfix rapid flexible is a palace adhesive i believe and it is not suitable for tiling onto floor boards...you need to use the two pack one....

 

[tysfoot]

£21 quid, where from

Sorry, I was thinking about wall tiling.... why I have no idea :lol:

Yeah, flexi rapidset will be find grouting same day, as for onto floorboards, nope bad idea, not flexi enough, need to go fastflex route, where as if you had used 6mm backerboard secured propperly then topps rapidset flexi is fine, that's what Im currently doing on the job right now.

toppfix two part just ask for it at the counter

 

[Fekin]

Or use Admix with the rapidset, that might make it flexi enough maybe ?

Needs to be rapidset flexible with admix.

yeah I know, thats what I said in a previous post with backerboard, but couldnt be bothered typing flexi after rapidset again, cos I guessed he knew what i was on about :lol:
