Yea fantastic buy mate, saves so much time. Took a bit of getting used to but mixed up 2 bags of sticky at a time and serrated the lot once i got the hang of it. So yea efficent didnt have a lacky today so had the set out and then loaded out tiles and still got about about 38m stuck , admittedly i did'nt start the cuts so i guess tommorow wont be as fruitful!

And you noticed NO fixings then..?..

Yup but when i quizzed the customer he advised it was stuck with
" industrial grade "double sided tape. And gave the instruction "just tile it".

Got on alright with the pole trowel then Simply??

 

[simplythebest]

Yes mate, pole trowel worked fine although kind of cumbersome to use in tighter area's so i just swapped to a normal trowel for those.It Needs regular washing after say 2-3 mixes as the body of the trowel is ally and adhesive sticks hard to it, is really good for serrating a large area quickly and getting a good even spread. Imo a good investment if you do large areas regularly.

 

[merlecollins]

Did you not get adhesive up and over onto the last course that you had fixed or do you serate away from that first?

 

[simplythebest]

Just overspread on the 1st line then its easy to keep last row clean. Takes some getting used to but plain sailing after a bit.

Sounds OK Simply

Would just have to do a few trial runs when no-one around, don't want to start looking like a ( swearing removed) now, after 20 years in the game :20:
