evo-stik products ???

[tobs333]

Hi all

I'm tiling a floor and wondering has anyone used Evo-Stik Technik OPF ?
I'm a DIYer and the job is ceramic tiles on a flexible self-leveling compound (underneath is electrical UFH) on a new concrete

I bought a small bag the other weekend to finish 3 tiles on a floor. No way I was doing a 10 mile journey for 3 tiles. Seemed ok but as it was from Homebase it cost me more for a 10kg bag than a 20kg bag of Palace from Topps.
Did the job though.

Hope that helps.

thanks for that!
i can get the Evo-Stik adhesive (20kg) cheaper than the BAL- however I see most of the Pros like using BAL.
I'm a DIYer and I want o make sure I'm using the best product with the UFH.

Hi, i'd stay away from Evo-Stick gear myself. Use an adhesive manufacturer's product that's by recommended by our tilers.

hi mate make sure you prime floor sbr not pva and use a good flexy cement based floor adh and mix up small amounts of sticky at a time as it dose go off quite quickly.
adh ulta is a little fast
nicobond is prob a lot easyer (spelling) got more open time
dunlop my fav .
all do the same job
i have used teknik but wasnt keen on it myself
oh and dont forget bal (for gaz)
