Was it tubbed..?

 

[peckers]

granfix MULTIFIX has been out for a few years now which is a self priming ready tubbed flexible adhesive, suitable for power showers etc!
Is this the one you are on about gooner or have they brought out more that are self priming??

 

[diamondtiling]

Yes its a tubbed addy, I have used it when it was first launched and I used it..........












once. Never again.

I know that the company I work for are developing self curing concrete.

I Know Kerakol do some bagged addys that say they don't need a primer but they are not really self priming. Benfer also do one for anhydrites that say no primer needed. Forbo used to but it never worked so they withdrew it - or so I am told

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

who uses tubbed stuff anyway ?

This is rubbish addy, know 2 people who have had tiles fall onto their heads with this stuff!!! and me!!! when they complained the company side that it should only be applied where the depth of addy should not exceed 3mm! or it takes weeks to 'go off'. i now use the bal pda primer as a matter of course.

As a tilersforum member you can get better prices at Tilegiant for your primers and adhesives.

Arnt these addy's gypsum based adhesives, not cement based and therefore primers arnt needed. Obviously if the wall / floor are over dusty then it will need priming

I never use primers with tubbed addy anyway unless the walls are dusty, then again i never use tubbed gear so it irrelevant

I have used Granfix standard set white addy for ceramics on the walls and the tiles were coming loose in my hand! Id never use Granfix again
