[stone tiler]

No probs. I done a shower last week. 2 mts of porc tiles on impey to come up. . . took a day with a sds!! The impey makes the adhesive come up in 50p size bits and then you have to get the snots off the formed tray so you can re-tank and get the correct falls.

Good luck with it

Do you have a water cooled stone polisher? It's not a large floor area, and a 50 grit would make short work of the top 2 mm of adhesive.

Did you re-tank with paint on or with Impey again?

Hi John.I had one of these a while ago to do. I think the hardest part is done and that is getting the tiles up without any real damage. I would use a stone polisher maybe around 240 grit on slow speed and gentle sand the addy down. Then check for any holes and screed over the holes with rapid. prime then tank and apply a 1mm fleece over and re tank immediately over the top (I used the mira tanking kit with there safecoat fleece from pure adhesion Harrogate).The tray is now repaired and fully tanked and ready to go. Do get one of those dust door protectors as the sanding will throw up some dust. If you need to borrow my sanding kit give us a ring or if nearby by i'll pop over and help out. though I am on holiday next week. Wet trays with thought to an exstent can be repaired Kevin
