No Dave, same sort of thing but not with adhesive, 4:1 sand and cement 70mm screed. OPC slurry.

There must be a video somewhere on you tube, I will keep searching. I hope someone can find one, I was filmed enough over the years in this country and abroad.

I will keep looking.

So. Really you are looking for is a silent movie, filmed on a Cine 8, in ochre and brown, of a spotty faced kid laying 6inch tiles to a sand and cement screed with a cement slurry bond over 1000's of square yards!
No chance! All that type of film spontaneously combusted years ago.
Apart from the Anne Summers reference, sawdust would no doubt be outlawed for health and safety these days anyway!

Thanks John, I will take that as a no then, you havn't found a video on power vibration system.

It was less than 10 years ago, but I suppose that could seem like the middle ages to some people.

Keep the banter going John, I think we are a dying breed. We few band of brothers.

Good links for us younger folk. Unfortunately I never got a chance to learn any of these fixing methods.

What's the book some of the members on here got a while back detailing a lot of old style laying?

Well the last time i see anyone use the method phil is on about was when i tiled monmouth girls school 25m pool and the surround had had a pattern ,the guys were from south wales ,and i think they saved a lot of money !!! by not using pre blended adhesive, they split the surround into bays broken-up by expansion joints . and that was 23 ish years ago and its still in great nick.........

Yes Peter 150m2 per day minimum, I think the most we did was 200m2. You couldn't keep up that pace for long though.

Nice fast method compared to tile adhesive then. Best our wee squad could do was about 120m on a good day with two spreading, two laying, and usually me mixing and fetching. :lol:

Our minimum lay of 150m2 per day included screeding 25ton of readymix 4:1 sand and cement at approx 65mm/70mm bed. Bloody hard work, but the big pay cheque soothed the pain at the end of the week.
