I'd use an S1 rapid adhesive to build up where it's 12mm lower, but (not teaching you to suck eggs) make sure it's flat and no bulges and dips because your'll struggle to get the mosaic built up with to much wet addy.


Thank you for your reply. I'm not using mosaic no more, going to buy large tiles or use same 300x300 tiles already down on floor because it'll be less messing about. Tried some mosaic earlier but to much messing for someone like me. If tray was completely level I'd have no problems but like this, I'll make a mess so decided to use large tiles instead.

When you s1 rapid adhesive and can it be laid on a wet tray without causing problems

I don't know what thread I was reading but in my head it was totally different to that! Makes sense now.

I'd double tile it if you're not going with mosaics. Wont do any harm. Double tile to where you need to, then feather adhesive from the first layer of tile to the trap. Then wait for that to cure/dry, then tile it properly all level.

It can be laid onto dry tanking in a wet room tray.

What I have in mmindwill take me over the drain if I use tiles underneath.

You'd only need the one tile in the corner that's low, then use the adhesive to feather / skim from that one tile to the trap (to below the trap rather) and then tile it? Does that make any sense? So you're just using a tile as a packer to pack out the adhesive.... sort of thing.

This tray is sealed in megaseal tanking but now has some mega adhesive on it now due to trying earlier. Couldn't get the Addy of because it was so tacky. can this s1rapid set be used on top of wet tray adhesive. I'm liking the sound of being able to use rapid set adhesive on tanking because its easier to play with and to clean of tools as well. I had to use acetone earlier to clean my tools with that horrible stuff.

I would not fix to wet tanking as you may break the seal and could end up in a awful mess.
