Using ready mixed?

I never see ready mix in Italy,all I remember we use in this Tour is Adesilex P9,just invented...12-15 years ago?

Steven, are we talking about spot fixing ready mixed adhesive now?

No I don't use the stuff, I don't like it...
I'm just simply talking about coverage. 80% is not the 100% like people were taking on here

So you're not 100% sure about it being 65% about 8 years ago?
Just to clarify Steven, this was on a tub of ready mixed adhesive?

Right, I looked at a tub of Mapei D1 adhesive about 8 years ago...
I'm "pretty sure" that it said at least 65% coverage was good enough...

You getting me now?

It's all about who's got the biggest dick!
Is it Richard ,Rich , Dickie or Dick? Or indeed any other name to be abbreviated.
Seen a few jobs with 60% coverage and the gap is visible through the tile, the famous 5 method can often leave a dice look through travertine and if you don't adhere to plasterboard guidelines who comes unstuck after 13 years - or is that someone else's problem.
Like all these posts it's just my opinion and it is a New Year!

Got called out to look at this one before Christmas, had only been fitted a month earlier by a tiler recommended by the tile shop who wouldn't answer his phone anymore 🙁 it looked a very nice job on the face of it, HOWEVER..this tile was getting hit with the door handle every time they opened the door and had come loose...can't think why 🙁

@Ste450 , that's the kind of dot and dab this thread was originally about. Clearly far from the method you describe and use but I hope you can see where the criticism is coming from.
I think it's probably best if this thread is closed as it appears to be getting personal, @3_fall
