At what point do any of you use tubbed addy ?

[Stef]

No, but make sure you prime with 360, IMHO it increases the bond strength x 3

I always use 360 when using weber gear.

I read on the bag that you need to modify with 250 for plasterboard walls. I just wondered what others done.

the walls i tile i wouldnt imagane would be any different to the walls you tile ,i prefer to use ready mixed adhesive as that is what i have used since it appeared on the market and to be honest i have never had any problems,its not the size of the tile that matters is it its the weight,ready mixed adhesive has been around a long time now ,im sure if was no good they would have stopped selling it,i have no problem with anybody using powder if thats what they want to use ,the problem i have is with folk preaching and telling folk not to use it as if it is no good,i use granfix adhesives and grout ,now lets wait and hear everybody slate that because its not the right one

Sorry m8 I know you don’t like being told you are wrong but you are wrong it is all about the size of the tile and has nothing to do with the weight. Like you I used ready mixed adhesive for a long time on site as the tile size allowed it but as the large format tiles became popular and then porcelain tiles come in to play on walls I can no longer use ready mixed for most of the jobs I get.
I do use it if I the situation allows me to but that is not very often.

Deanotile how is it size and not weight..im curious

 

[Andy Allen]

most tubbed adhesive will recommend you don't use it on tiles no bigger then 300x300 due to the fact it dries by dispersion, meaning if you use it on to big of a tile some of it will never dry..

Hi deanotile ,no i dont mind at all being told anything , if i am wrong i will hold my hand up ,but i fail to see what difference the size of the tile makes,if you read what i said again you will see iuse ready mixed most of the time and never have problems and never have had,and yes there is ready mixed adhesive for porcelain if people prefer to use it,now could you explain why it is the size of the tile that matters most of all

I did a shower area yesterday, 1.2m x 300mm tiles (long and slim)...

(I used Rapid Benfer grey, onto Hardi walls)

But, if its nothing to do with tile size, could I have used Tubbed gear on these badboys?

 

[Brian the Tile]

sorry, andy allen replied while i was typing

 

[Brian the Tile]

just thinking ,i cant remember the last time i fixed porcelain on bathroom walls, seem to get a lot of it in kitchens 4 x4 but never bathrooms ,strange

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

That is not true if the tile size and sub straight are suitable there is nothing wrong with it.
