How much are you getting from your adhesive Page: 2

Currently £14 a bag lee for ultra and Tilemaster
I can’t buy a palet load at a time so I need a manageable size order, I’m sure others are the same.

Good brands both of them and well trusted, I can’t think of a complaint about either of them that I’ve heard.
So I take it they’re 20kg bags? And if so it’s £17.50 for 25kgs.
This is an honest question as I’ve never used them, how does their yield compare?

It varies on wether I’m doing walls or floors and my own judgement of the conditions. Common sense will dictate that you don’t make it too stiff that it skins too quickly and doesn’t stick and the opposite is true in that you don’t make it like soup. I judge it depending on what I’m doing. I like it to be as wet as I can get away with what I’m doing.

Cheers. I tried some adhesive today using the specified volume of water and found it needed a fair amount more water.

I’m not really too sure whether it has a detrimental effect on the adhesive.

Trying out new adhesives as I’m finding Biogel too slow for a slow set. The dust it kicks up is just scary too. Inhaling that carrera marble isn’t good.

It’s hard for me to make comparison as when I used the isomat I was Tiling onto dural, i also had to vary the bed depth. I can tell you this much, Tilemaster setaflex goes nowhere, in my opinion.

I’d end up with a 15kg mix out of my 25kg bag, it’s that dusty
