Making Your Own Adhesive With Cement And Sand?

[White Room]

Do see a lot of sbr thrown in as additive's under a pseudonym though.

Yes we do all the time !!

Then we sell it to tile fixers !!!

Sorry

Seriously it is a very complicated matter with all the modern tile types - large format tiles and polymer additives. We employ over six hundred staff in our R&D departments - so try it if you like ??

with these six hundred staff why do your exsperts no so little about fixing large thin formats most of
your specs could not be more wrong why do your exsperts say to prime fibra glass substrates but not fibra glass
tiles light weight adesive changes the longer its left mixed up and becomes more useles why do you sell water
proof grout and adhesive in buckets to bq total rubbish as it is not possible i know i will read the small print
on the back for the truth .

I was in gozo in april scuba diving.
I was having a beer and watching a bloke tile a outside communal area with porcelain tiles.
It went
Day one - torch bitumin felt onto area (it was over underground parking)
Day two -blind with a concreting sand
Day three- tile over using same sand and cement mixed in cement mixer

That was a long beer!

 

[Time's Ran Out]

We always used to make our own substrates in sand/cement sceeds then slurry coat the tiles prior to laying. You couldn't blame anyone else then.
Today the tile choice, adhesive choice and time parameters mean it's quicker and cost effective to use the correct adhesives , but only on the smaller jobs. But even if you prepare your own substrate you have to use the decoupling membranes to ensure no shrinkage.

Trust me , plenty of beer was drunk, after the days diving of coarse 😉
