It was when there was rubber pipes conected to the bath taps and a dribble of water came out, now it's gallons with super duper pumps.

Weber anhydrocol ( summit like that) has been out a long time as has kerakols ... But as usual the UK are behind ...


Alan's has to state as a binder representative what in his opinion is the method he advises to use , it was only a couple yrs or so back , Alan's method was epoxy primer then cement based adhesive... And as materials change then so does advice.

Materials advance widler and as we all know they take time to catch on but as long as a screed is dry etc , then The acrylic method and cement based adhesive IMHO is far from wrong... Floors fail because of error.
Yes a gypsum adhesive has more compatibility as its gypsum to gypsum but it's been mentioned many many times , adhesive manufacturers are ripping people's eyeballs out with costs.
