good point mike
the easiest was to compare this tileution is simply to look at the plastering game..
they have machines and have done in germany since the late 70's early 80's..they really havent evolved since then. reason being is they can only pump the plaster out onto the wall! the plasterer then uses his straight edge to flatten and trowel/spats to finish the area. this can take several passes and no machine can lay on perfectly in one hit!! apply only!
so the tileution will only really be capable of dispersing adhesive and not always guarantee the correct bond due to the rigidness of the design.... if i had designed the tileution, i would have used a hose attachment with a flat spreading attachment so you could have more flexability when laying on the adhesive. it would be easier to go back and forth over the area as opposed to the rigid design.. you could have then flicked a switch down (like a hoover) to expose the serrated edge, which you could then use to go over the area that you have laid.
anyway, lets see how it gets on. im not rating it or slating it, just giving some feedback based on my experience with machine application.
ps mikethetile has a very very valid point..the minute you make any application quicker on site, then the rate is refelcted!!
