AnhyFix

[Stef]

For anyone fixing onto a calcium sulphate screed then I would highly recommend using a gypsum based adhesive like TileMaster AnhyFix.
I carried out a quick test to see how well the adhesive would bond to the screed & as you can see it clearly does the job superbly.

Only to carry the tile over so as my bond wasn't broken.
There's a free standing bath going in there & the only way the waste can be fitted to the bottom is through that cut out into a bedroom cupboard.
It's going to fun trying to fix a tile in there once the bath is fitted.

wot primer did u use Stef?

TileMaster Prime Plus,
Mixed at a 4:1 ratio. Last Gyvlon I did I mixed the primer at a 3:1 & some of it skinned, 4:1 is perfect.
That AnhyFix is one damn good adhesive, sticks like the proverbial.

Will the tiles just be sat over that big whole when you come to actually tile stef? If not how will you be filling it? Sorry if I'm taking it off topic. Cheers

That will be filled in with granite & then I will stick a tile down into place.
It doesn't really need fixed as its just to cover up where the pipes will go, it will never see any foot traffic.

Can’t say I’m that impressed with that bond. You pulled itof the dabs with your hand and scraped the adhesive of the floor with hardlyany effort

Deano, I already had a go at that tile, 3 or 4 attempts to pull it up, that took a lot of effort to get up & those dabs didn't want to move.
If you have a solid bed under those tiles then it isn't going to move.

You were able to remove the dabs with a scraper and a smallamount of effort no hammer required. Do the same test with Weber SPF on to aS&C screed and see if you can get it up with the same action as you did inthe video

I've removed tiles easier than that from screeds.
I know what you mean but that adhesive had only been down about 12hrs.
The point I was trying to put across is that there are a few people scared from these screeds & they don't need to be if using appropriate adhesives & primer.

Adhesive seemed to bond well to the substrate. I doubt you could have pulled it up with your hand if you had buttered the back of the tile. Thanks for the vid Stef!

 

[Mr Tiler]

Any informative video is appreciated stef nice that ya took the time

I got my son to take a faulty tile out of a floor we tiled with anhyfix he took over 3 hours to remove it and no piece was bigger than a 50 pence piece the customer commented on it when I went back to Silicon the expansion joints it was solid bedded and backed the adhesive is unbelievable and i am really really impressed with it ,I didn't watch your video just telling of my experience with it

You'll have to accept it sooner of later Deano.... Gypsum adhesives stick to gypsum based screeds....
