applying adhesive methods?

[Old Mod]

2nd quote - screed and blob??? screed = floor term???

Not sure where the terminology comes from for sure,
but I've heard a lot of fixers over the yrs say screed the floor, when they mean trowel adhesive.
It probably does come from the days of sand and cement fixing I'd imagine.

if the floor is that bad to dot and dab ,put the floor right ,or somewhere near ,dont loose quality

alot of tiles i knock off reveal that they have been fixed to the wall with blobs of adhesive to the back of the tile instead of the adhesive being spread and notches on the wall.

do people use this as an alternative to notching permanent or is it only done when say walls are out etc?
what's the usual method? 4 blobs each corner and 1 in middle?

whats the dis/ advantages of this?


I did blob method on a floor once which was onto under tile heating wires , and then just made sure i squeezed plenty of grout in the joints.

I'm glad this was resurrected, I loved this site but stopped visiting because I struggled remaining polite to the no it all/ no nothing brigade. To those that want to learn it's a real shame when someone with a trustable sounding company name like "pro spec" starts a thread with such wrong guidance.
Listen and learn or rename company to
"Low spec"
