Nicobond

[dave l and l]

anyone have any thoughts on nicobond adhesive...
usually use weber or bal . but i popped into nicobond the other day two see what there prices were like , i was going to be buying weber flexi with ad250 for a quartz floor, but the salesman in shop mentioned there adhesive with the enhancer which was pretty much admix. he said the adhesive was the equivalent of bal ptb.
prices were pretty good

I used to use it before changing to Webber. It's not as smooth as Webber .

Stick to Weber plus admix for quartz, I would

If they give this advise concerning Pva wouldn't give them house room http://www.nichollsandclarke.com/uploads/70b22a49c0f4668b5e2d8a6402c0d3c8.pdf

You only need weber set plus to use with ad250 on quartz. Cheaper than s.p.f. and I think you're not meant to use that with additive anyway

i will have a look at weber guide tomorrow its in van. going to go with weber . its what i usually use so i trust it. and plus the data sheet link has put me of with the p v a chat,,,
the only reason i was considering it was prices ...,
i will maybe get some trims of them they were beating c t d on genesis

Price isn't everything!
Confidence in a product is.

for quartz I would use tilemasters ultimate or ultra s2
don't think any s1 adddy is suitable for resin quartz tiles

 

[J Sid]

Waiting for that

So you won't use a latex based adhesive then @RayTheTiler

 

[hmtiling]

This is popping up a fair bit recently

 

[Just Rizzle]

if I was to use an add mix then I would go for ardex x7 addy and ardion 90

 

[J Sid]

So thats a no to fixing quartz with a latex base addy the ray

 

[Lee@emctiles]

Sold quartz for a number of years, weber set plus and ad250 was what we recommended, then Tilemaster came out with Ulitmate S2, swapped and recommended this way since. No issues.

 

[Mark@Tilemaster]

Spot on Lee - we recommend using our Ultimate S2 and have done for many years - it works perfectly well.
Most companies do recommend using a 2 part latex based adhesive and again I have heard of no problems using this method.

I don't fix quartz that often and have fix it in the past with an add mix , but since using tile masters ultimate with the last 2 quartz jobs ive done both with ufh I'm convinced that ultimate dose the job equally as well
