i have said this before,i know tilers who swear by pva and wont listen to a word you try and say to them regarding creating a barrier between tile and substrate and just laugh...what do we know.rrr:
my first post on here and its confession time!!
I have ALWAYS pva'd at around 6 to 1 before any tiling i've done.
But after sitting here reading every single post on this thread and my heart has sank like the titanic:yikes:
Cue the sleepless nights worrying about all those tiles i've layed over the years
I've removed a laminate floor at my house as it was always spreading at a certain joint and im sick of "jump & sliding" it back together. Dont tell me you dont know the jump and slide "move" cos i know you do!!
here's a question for you all...
I've removed a laminate floor at my house as it was always spreading at a certain joint and im sick of "jump & sliding" it back together. Dont tell me you dont know the jump and slide "move" cos i know you do!!
anyway, the reason it kept popping at that certain part was down to the gargantuan drop the bitchumen/ashphalt floor suffers at that point. I intended to self level and tile, but after ringing BAL technical this afternoon to find out the best primer (not PVA) to use on Bitchumen, only to be told they dont recommend doing anything with bitchumen other than removing it completely.
Removal is not an option as this was poured in and floated in when i bought the house (built circu 1927) to act as a damp proof barrier. Its not a thin layer originally used to fix vinyl tiles etc, im sure you will all know what i mean?
So whats my options here? I've been and bought BAL Bond but im at pains to just go ahead and use it without asking first. I intend to tile the floor in the end by the way.
