first forum advice on floor tiling

[thebluemax]

Hi all thanks for the replies,
Today I bought a 1Ltr of Norcros prime bond from a tile shop, it is water based and he said you can use it neat or diluted,
1. multipurpose
2. SBR
3.Internal & external
4. water & frost resistant

have I bought the wrong stuff ? (he said it was correct for over bitumen residue)

Here is a couple of pics of the floor residue

I would still be mixing it up with SPF rapid to a slurry

if thats a better way then great, exactly what do I mix up and how, also how would I apply it, brush/roller or trowel ? sorry for all the non tech questions, as you can tell I dont tile floors often..lol

one other thing guys is...if the floor is running out say 5mm or so is it ok to put the slurry on thicker at that point, or can you re-apply the slurry on top of the first coat if you see what I meen.
cheers for all your replies.

The slurry is traditionally 2 part adhesive to 1 part SBR. I often mix up a water SBR mix (2:1) instead of neat SBR and mix this with the adhesive to a slurry. I personally pour then roller onto the floor.
As for making up height....slurry first, the use SLC :smilewinkgrin:

cheers geof, I'm not good with ratios..so i have a 1ltr sbr, if I use half of this and half water, then add it to my powdered adhesive (how much adhesive to that mix will I need from the bag ? (I have 9sq mtres), or some say mix cement instead of adhesive.
sorry for the daft questions.

No, add the rapid set flexible adhesive to the liquid. Mix a bit at a time until a sloppy slurry consistency is reached, then leave for a couple of minutes, mix again then you are ready to roller it over the bitumen
