As Ajax, Gyvlon is gypsum based, so a gypsum based adhesive would work best. Gypsum and cement are worsed enemies:yikes:

Gyvlon screeds are not difficult, provided that you:

1. identify that it is a Gyvlon screed
2. remove laitence by sanding the surface and vacuuming the dust
3. ensure that UFH has been correctly commissioned prior to tiling and any cracks repaired
4. use a gypsum based adhesive and fix tiles ensuring a solid bed fix

Simples :lol:,

Whats wrong with the link to my post (apart from that it doesnt touch on Gyvlon screeds)?

Have I got the wrong end of the stick or is Alan asking for my post to be banned??
