Hi - i can't access the other forum for you pro tilers... did you post your issues here?Ok my take on this mat!
On completion and within a month I noticed some grout missing, added more additive to grout as supplied and touched up. I showed the builder my concerns with their specified materials and he is aware of the possible outcome.
IMHO this matting is a waxy type surface layer that does not encourage a satisfactory bond with the tiles - so this OP thread is of no surprise to me and I envisage an awful lot more issues in the future.
I have a roll of Butech mat from the August project which I was going to skip ( not a product I have any confidence in using again) but I shall now keep in case of future testing!

Cheers - it's the only way to stay keep your sanity and there's no point getting angry at tilers who i think are genuinely trying to put down a good floor and not meaning to screw it up and various conspiring factors have led all us to where we are now. There may be some lessons he can learn on technique. Thanks for your comments, this is a great community here.Welcome to the world of the installer. That is why if I want to use say a bal product and they if you use all our products on this job it's guaranteed I don't bother. I regularly use different primers to adhesives and grout and silicone . .
I like your attitude yes it's a pain but it's a floor and can be sorted .
