Thanks again guys, not been too good the past 2 days, a touch of the runs; England getting tanked in Ireland and the Toon at Stoke.

Yes Stewart, the house is a kit build with a brick skin. Everywhere else seems to be sound except for this window. By taking the angle irons off and levelling the front of the window to the wall I can get 4 - 5mm which will sort about 2 thirds of the wall. One side of the window drops away about 1cm in 10cms, so I am still going to left with an 8 - 10mm gap. Looks like I am going to have to reboard this section.

Thanks, Ed

I mention it because there adhesives will do it..?? Simple as that..

An adhesive that does 20mm is wall or floor.. isn't it..? So yes i mention it coz it does it..🙂 and not pin pointing one adhesive from them ,coz they all do 20mm..:lol:

Have checked with stone fix today and 20mm for the floor only as I thought they do not recommend using their products at this thickness on a wall just in case anybody reading this thought they could do it.

I don't recommend it either, like i said above but my point was that it will do 20mm depth.. as in it is capable of that bed depth..

yes it will do 20mm depth but as the topic at the time was about bedding out a wall and it was a diyer that asked he may very well of not reaslised what you were saying.

To be honest the OP said he only need to sort out a 10-12mm difference and I kinder thought he was talking about leveling the wall out with adhesive waiting for it set them carry on tiling as normal, but I could be wrong.

By the way OP, you say you noticed the floor adhesive could go to 20mm which would of course suggest it is a cement based adhesive as it should be, but that kinda implies the wall tile adhesive is not and that means it may be a ready mixed tub adhesive. You then go on to say the wall tiles are 60x30, If you wall tile adhesive is ready mixed then i'm afraid it is not suitable for those sized tiles

CR If i take the window angle irons off and level the window front to the bulk of the wall, I am probably going to be left with a 6 - 10 mm hollow in the worst corner. Did wonder about using the floor adhesive to build it up, before applying the tile with a 2nd layer of adhesive.

You are right in that the wall adhesive supplied with the tiles is a tub adhesive. I wondered about this and asked the guy who supplied it and he assured me that it was ok, He seemed to know quite a bit about tiling, but I.m no expert. The adhesive he supplied was Profix for ceramic wall tiles. Is this definitely unsuitable or is it personnel preference?

unsuitable without a doubt.

maximum with tubbed adhesive is 300x300 and even then most on here wouldn't go that big with tubbed, in fact most wouldn't go with a tubbed ahesive in a bathroom but that bit is personal preference.

Take the adhesive back, poke the guy in the eye and smash a tile on his head then maybe next time he will remember not to give out duff information
