Bang head here!!!

Arrived at work this morning and got a text from a well known S Yorks tile shop. Basically it read

'********** now stock 9mm ply at £7.50 for a 4x4 sheet.............'

I replied with the usual 15mm WBP or marine ply only if you insist on using ply. I then pointed out hardie backer and marmox boards. In the last year I'm seeing more and more failures involving UHF and ply.

He then replied they are bringing in a kerakoll addy and weber SPF can be used with 9mm ply anyway:mad2: and are stocking 9mm as most tilers seem to use it. He also added the kerakoll addy has a 'p' rating which means its tested and suitable for ply.

I replied I'd be astonished if kerakoll recommend 9mm ply. I recentely saw a failure with what looked like bal elastomeric addy, Ufh and 6 or 9mm ply.

Now the problem I have and I'm sick of it, is shops like this and tilers around me running around saying 'yeah 9mm is fine etc' and then I come along saying 'no it isn't. Who they going to believe. I doubt I'm the only one however.

Am I going insane or what?

Dave every one in the building trade knows more about our job than we do thats why they look at us like they do when we tell them how we think it should be done :mad2: but some of the jobs i have seen you can understand why
