Tiled in 3 hrs in lovely slow set adhesive, as I never use rapid as you know.

Incidentally that would have proved fatal, as I had to slightly adjust the position of some of them after each row progressed, which you would never have done with rapid set.
Just got to grout up on Monday.
So there you go.

As I said earlier, you can self level if you like ;)

I'll stick to leveling the floor and rapid set.
Lot less hassle imo. ..

Where's the hassle? Lol.
Prime floor, set out, mix up and stick tiles.

Easier than self levelling - each to their own.
The hassle. ..lol having to set every tile with a rubber mallet!!!
Then go back and grout the next day!!!
Like you said each to there own.
what adhesive do you use?

Lol, why is it a hassle to set each tile with a few taps of the mallet????? :rolleyes:

I use the one I use all the time. Topps slow set white, which is Palace.

Do you go to work on a pushbike or summat? :D

Your always moaning on about going back the next day to grout. So what??

I have got to grout the shower cubicle anyway, which again was done with slow set, and prep the bathroom etc, so will still be a 7 hr day which is enough for me.

Do you use a lot more adhesive @steveboy using your cowpat way? I guess savings on slc offset it though.

Is your adhesive manufacturer happy for you use their tile adhesive up to that depth?
