Liquid tanking and how it affects weight limits..

[John Benton]

So treat every substrate as skimmed plaster if you used their product then

Good job I don’t like Mapei then

I tried scratching the edge of the Ardex WPC I used the other day, and that never budged at all

Application by roller tends to be thinner than by brush

I would have said the opposite with Ardex Geoff, more like a paste than a runny liquid

I only ever use a roller, with a brush into the corner. I found years ago that application by brush on some tanking liquids provided inconsistent coverage

I didn't post that

I realised that afterwards

I think you saw that I prefer to use a tanking tape for corners, joints and lipping onto trays or baths

I’ve not used ardex before, it’s not available locally that I know of. Always roller for me and brush for corners/tape. I’ve seen people using a brush for it all tho, Geoff

Don't you have a CTD close by Local?

Ardex WPC definitely the best liquid membrane, useable at all skill levels.
Must admit tho John I find that using a roller with WPC is very easy, not too thick at all.

 

[John Benton]

Didn’t find it difficult Marc, just found that it tended to be a little thicker than the single part tanking systems

You get a roller in the Ardex WPC tanking kit box but I still prefer to brush the stuff on.
