mapei renovation fibre screed

[DavieA]

Found it £13 per bag but 2 primers required cost £100 so quite expensive!

do tell more?

 

[DavieA]

Went in to TG and asked about the the new mapei renovation fibre enhanced screed and was told that it was £13 per bag so i thought thats a good price then then boy said but you need 2 primers "A" and "B" and together there £100 to trade! I about passed out, so will have to see if Dave got better price for the primers or if there even required since hes used it.

Cant see them not being required, if they were not used in conjunction with the product then who would guarantee them? it sounds like a process to me.

 

[DHTiling]

They are not needed and i don't know why TG recommended them..

cheers davie A

 

[DavieA]

Really Dave, have you any ideas must be same stuff cant be 2 mapei renovation fibre screeds released in last few weeks . Apparently Mapei rep told them it was needed last week.

You need a primer for the substrate and that is it.. Primer G will suffice..

 

[DavieA]

Primer g on ply or plaster? But I was puting it down ontop of a dural decoupler . What substraight did you use it on Dave?

 

[DavieA]

Primer g on plaster just as per adhesives. But I was puting it down ontop of a dural decoupler so shouldn't need primer anyway . What substraight did you use it on Dave?

 

[DHTiling]

If using it on timber then yes another primer is needed.. so many threads hard to remember what substrates..

 

[DavieA]

Ah right, so if used on timber then £100 primer required. When will primer g be used ?

 

[DHTiling]

I would just use SBR on ply.. Depends if you want to 100% follow primer advice.. after all SBR is used for loads and loads of priming situations..

I use Primer G on screeds etc but SBR for timber..

 

[DavieA]

Cheers for the info. Who makes sbr? I thought priming ply wasn't required with mapei adhesives. I use primer g in screeds or plaster but nothing for ply.

 

[DHTiling]

Who mentioned adhesive.. this is SLC isn't it.?
