My last tiling 3 days ago wasn't good, with water-ciment mixture on a fresh chap, the tiles didnt past good, I had to remove everything .... 🙁

If I buy a bag colle, don't remain nothing more from the payment ...

Werner I always put a handful of adhesive in with the slurry it slows it down nicely another way of slowing it is washing up liquid in the slurry which is what a lot of the old timer brick layers used

Could you explain this better, "washing up liquid in the slurry" ?

Put more water in (or less ciment) ? if so, how many ? And should rest the water-ciment mixture some time after mixing, before applied ? Normally, I mix it, and then I use it imediately.

And know you perhaps any references in internet, where is explained good and detailed the old-time tile setting manner ?


I make rather often chaps and put the tiles in that manner. Normally, this goes good. But sometimes happens that what I reclaimed here. I don't know exactly why and wherefrom depending, but I suppose it's a probmem with the ciment-water mixture, not with the chap or tiles where the problem happens at the same time. Something I make wrong.



And: what is 'plasticiser' ???

In fact this are normally the intermediaries or firmas for which you work which don't want spend money for paste/colle but only for ciment. After mess like this I wait the proprietary phone me to work directly for him. He buyed colle, I gone there, flatted the chap (rather unflatted because removing the tiles) with some sand and ciment, and put over next tiles, this time with colle-water mixture (not with cement-water mixture), and no problem.

However, I have to learn, how to do this with cement, water, how the old-time tilers did this.

what means "washing up liquid in the slurry" ?
