as i said always make sure they are well bonded first

The primer is fine , its the original tiles that will be the issue

as i said always make sure they are well bonded first

How do you check for this.?..

 

[Rizzle from the Portizzle]

to check for bonding i will always run a solid metal spanner up and down every tile i will listen for the sounds coming back if lose a hollow sound will come back stands out a mile. i will always chop one or two tiles out to double check .before tilling over tile .ps with the cost of chopping down and making good can come to more than the cost of new tiles and tiling .in these hard times it can be the difference between doing a job or not .

 

[deankyall]

Same way every tiler I know does,try and take them off,have you never tiled on tiles Dave?

How do you check for this.?..

 

[deankyall]

Your absolutely correct in what you say,I would say that to remove all old tiles,clear from site ,repeater or make good walls,most people are horrified with the cost,that's why if they have to come off ill encourage them to take a weekend to do it,save themselves a few hundred quid,but I've never ever had a call back when I've tiled on tiles.a lot of the old flats and houses round here were fixed sand and cement no chance them coming off

as a moderator it's my job to help keep the site running along the proper lines,,,,when you've invested as much time here as I have over the years perhaps you may appreciate that fact....oh very sorry for replying a few hours late, but it's sunday and I do have a family to consider..

 

[deankyall]

Anyhow,ive just seen a thread on here where you guys even advise someone ,who is tiling on tiles ,which adhesive you would use ,2008,so why all of a sudden are you frowning on it ,like you have never done it???the guy who started this thread was being honest about the reality of what we have to do.one of the administrators even acknowledges that its impractical sometimes to take tiles off!!.

I am going to say this once... Follow forum rules and DO NOT troll on the forum or give our staff a hard time... keep it up and i will remove your account..

 

[doug boardley]

tiles sticking to tiles isn't an issue, we all know that. Substrate loading is a completely different ball game.

 

[deankyall]

did you even read the context of what i said,it wasnt meant in an offensive way,and the mild swear word which i would say most people wouldnt consider it very offensive wasnt even typed fully,there were 2 letters and two spaces,which by the way ive seen on here before,as regards to your reply it wasnt even necessary to even comment,especially in such a childish way both times,anyway maybe i should just agree with everyone and not give any opinions eh? after all this is a forum for people to contribute too even if they dont always agree with everything you all say.

dave what do you mean by trolling,i am just giving my opinion,i dont have to agree with everything you say,isnt that the idea of a forum,as i say you seem to frown upon tiling on tiles,im not saying ideally we would do it but sometimes we have too,and you have advised people yourself about doing so,so that must mean you know how you would check for the old tiles to be solid first.

you should've read the rules pal, even implied swearing using asteriks is not allowed, we're a clean site and wish to keep it that way, I actually let my kids aged 5 and 6 read the public section of this forum, safe in the knowledge that it is policed properly....any further problems with my input feel free to pm me!

Apologies to the OP of this thread, i hope you got the info you required from it but i am closing it now to it going off track and to prevent further out bursts from possible TROLL.
