Discuss 6mm X 1m X 1m Tiles - Why So Bloody Thin?!?! in the Canada Tile Advice area at TilersForums.com.

I've done a few wunda floors. Trying to remember I'm sure it was something like keratin t mixed with isolastc. But I had to prime the foils with a primer can't remember which one. If the foils aren't primed they have a chemical reaction with the adhesive causing the foils to oxidise and eventually throwing tile. But my god the tile takes a serious hold and wear latex gloves or you'll have white rubber fingers for a week.

Christ that's crazy. No wonder ribs don't squish. The load of three men standing on one of those won't really be felt by standard adhesives. You need something akin to water lol

I have been assured by wunda and mapei .that just using kera bond t and isolastic is way to stick the tiles .but use 3mm on back of tile 6mm on floor.so don't see point of such a thin tile myself .as I'm laying the tiles it seems I'm compressing the wunda boards and foil down .but it does seem to be sticking hard .but was not told to prime the foil at all ? ?
