is sand /cement fibrous screed dry enough to fix on to ?

[jonnyc]

How do you judge whether a screed is dry enough to tile on to

 

[Dan]

You need a moisture tester.

Alllaaaannnn

@DavidHoweTiling might be able to help.

Whats a fibrous screed, is that what they call it with fibres mixed in.

 

[Dave]

Heated or un heated and what depth ?

I'd assume so yeah. But I might be wrong!

 

[Ajax123]

Fibres are added to most sand cement screeds to try to help control shrinkage cracking. As for drying... You need a moisture meter for that.

[Old Mod]

Brilliant.

 

[Ajax123]

NOOOOOOOO!!

Lol

 

[Dan]

That's your calling now mate. ha
(Is this going to get old really really quickly?!?!)

 

[Ajax123]

I had it as my ringtone for a while. It was good fun for a while... I think I lasted about three weeks before I changed it... Never mind..... I can take it

 

[Dan]

I was in stitches when I first saw that. And my mate said always try to remember it when you're meant to be serious. And for a couple of weeks I'd grin when the mrs was having a go at me or something. Felt like a school kid being told off but your mate is pulling faces behind them and you can't keep a straight face.

Or use a vapour equalisation membrane , ideal for a green cement based screed

well in the old days it could be four to five days after it could take heavy traffic never checked the moister just took a look used a cement based adhesive would cure with the floor never once had a faliure but then they only had a few stick any time any place adhesive now its a mind field .why god only knows .but this may give you a clue ££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££.treasure island tilers .if you can trust yourself when all adhesive companys can blame you. for selling less of a prouduct than they did years ago .but making more ££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££a caring less.you need to ask just one question why do i liseren to reps who have never fixed a tile in there life or one that have but could not make the grade .our job is about doing the best job we can .not working out our comshion and how we can scare tilers to inprove that .use your now how not there fear at the end of the day you will always know more than them .

 

[Dan]

The only reps I know have been tilers and have bad knees or something.

Thinking about it that's a lie, I can think of a few now I'm thinking about it that haven't tiled.
