Pci problems

[nudge]

Thanks Dave & largely yes we have stopped selling it to anyone new & have made existing users aware that until further notice we are only recomending it will smaller tiles - but problems are evolving from many months ago that are just now coming to attention. We now it's good stuff but just can't find the link between it & the failures & so thought a bigger picture (forum) may help ?

Anyway I suggest if no one has yet experience anything similar that we don't bang on about it either as that would not be fair to PCI.

Have you tried it on smaller format porcelain..?..

Absolutely - it's great !

So it's not the bonding of it to a vitrified tile then..?..so it must be a tensile thing maybe..

yes & no ( complicated ) but seems to work fine all the time on the smaller size porcelain just not the big stuff, which is becoming hugely popular over here in Oz - weird ! - we've had plenty of "experts" guess as to what went wrong on this job & that job but each time it has been different circumstances i.e. walls - floors - inside - outside etc. the only common things thus far are the Nano & large chinese porcelian tiles ?

recently heard of 2 more job failures - including 1 guy who owns a shop that sells the gear. in both cases again it was large format Chinese porcelain and bigger than 12mm notched trowels. definately a pattern ? - will advise when we finally find an answer.

If the adhesive is sticking to the substrate and not the tile have you looked at the tiles I have had some with lots of dust/chalk on the back that has to be cleaned off as you cannot stick to dust. worth a quick look at back of tiles before fixing

oh no - that would be far to easy! :mad2: i have seen that problem many times before but this is not a simple conforming once off silliness - as you might gather from earlier posts :dizzy2:

sounds as if you already know the answer to your problem:8:

always more acurate to check with a bigger sample group - but sure is starting to look that way - sadly we all love it other wise !
