No worries, just thought I'd ask as I see you're based nearby, the Wife gets bored of me talking tiles all the time you see so I really need a tiling friend lol!

 

[Lee@emctiles]

Have you used that? What's it like?

Yep, weve demod it Dan, all singing and dancing primer, i can see it being another good TM product.

Looks nice and thick.

Will other adhesive firms still guarantee their adhesives and whatnot if you use a primer you have a preference for?

So do you slurry coat as a proper job primer, then SLC still on top?

I went to the TOPPS roadshow tonight. I wish I had some money cos they had some great offers. Top of the range FEIN in a proper case with loads of attachments...£193.75!!!
Bugger.
Oh well, got some silly freebies, and a tub of Green Star! And I'm stuffed full of free food and a cheeky tin!!
(Trouble is a tin on a school night only ends one place....I'm down the pub!)

@p4ulo .....slurry for problematic substrates such as bitumen covered screeds or a surface that requires a key to tile onto. I often SLC after slurry coat to get an old screed up ready for tiling

Nice prep Jeffy, but what ghastly tiles!
(Another area of deep mystery and witchcraft suddenly makes sense! x)

Doesn't the SLC on its own look so much cleaner?!

Good for an army barracks BBQ area those are.

Old 16th century cottage boys. The limestone flags had only just been sealed before grouting. They dried lighter to be fair

Oh actually, no they didn't!.

Gosh are they Limestone Flags......
they look like a terrible porcelain tile grey with light grey over the top....like a load of muddy footprints on a clean floor!
I'm sure they look much better in the flesh Jeffyboy. x

EDIT - cos he's just put another picture up - they look better in that piccy, must be the light!

 

[Dan]

Do they heck they're the worst tiles I've ever seen I think!

What designer stood back and said, yeah, lads, we've cracked it. All tiles will follow in our footsteps now.

 

[Qwerty]

They certainly weren't my cup of tea!

Lovely job Geoff, thanks for the pictures! But I've got to say they are without a doubt the worst looking tiles I have ever seen, and I mean EVER lol!
