[Mr Tiler]

[cam_low]

Grouts patchy no?

 

[Mr Tiler]

still drying mate and fair bit of residue but was spotless when I left

 

[Mr Tiler]

and before prepping I unscrewed all the doors.... afterwards I realised they were the hinges that lift off pmsl!

 

[John Benton]

Don't you like your mother-in-law? :sofahide:

 

[Mr Tiler]

lol shes a lovely women mate and was very happy with it :8:

Looks tidy. What did you overboard with in the end? I hope you didn't use the 6mm ply you were talking about the other week.

 

[CJ]

Did you prep the floor??

 

[Mr Tiler]

it was in the end bri tbh it was already down when I found out you couldn't overboard with such a thin ply.... but I wont make the same mistake again knowing the price of hardi!

 

[Mr Tiler]

yeh cj regretfully used 6mm ply and screwed down in 20mm centres glued and screwed. also primed chipboard before over boarding and primed ply before tiling mate

I hope it lasts mate, I fear you may be redoing it sooner rather than later. What adhesive? Please say SPF!

 

[CJ]

Looks suspiciously like plain t&g chipboard to me.

Tubbed bal green star from ctd lol.

 

[Mr Tiler]

I used the rapid set flexi addy from tile choice bri also added the additive although they said in tile choice I didn't need it I used it cuz when I was tiling with someone before he told me its always best just to be safe

 

[Martyn Leeds]

Adding a flexi additive to already flexi adhesive?!?! dunno about that one. I'd rather ask the Tech dept than listen to someone 'who always does it this way'.


Anymore pics?? 2 of the 4 pics are of the laminate being removed...

 

[CJ]

Adding additive to a flexi addy........bet it was like tiling with treacle?

 

[Mr Tiler]

he had been tiling for about 10 years so he knows more then me mate lol. I did take some more afterwards but they didn't save on my Phone I will take some more when im up there again.

I havnt done much on floors so I havnt got the feel for the addy yet but seemed fine to me

 

[Mr Tiler]

what about the set out of this? there is a small cut in the wardrobe. I tried to centre the grout joint to the main doorway to allow for a bigger cut but would of left small cuts on either side of the room just tried to vision what was best lol

 

[Chalker]

Well done mr tea bag. It's not perfect but I bet it will out live me

 

[Mr Tiler]

[Qwerty]
