i like to say thanks to gary and lee another test done if you look at the second vid then the third vid it looks like the best substrate for porc adhesive is porcs .with an even setting time .this may go some way to exsplain failures.with the substraight drawing out the moister to fast .some how this needs to be beter balanced .

So would you say this is a fixer problem or a manufacturer problem????

well all i can draw on is when i used ardion 90 with x7 would stick to all tile and substraight like sh to a blanckett evened out the drying time so i dont understand why the manufacture cant incorparate this knowlege into a bag of sticky without charging the earth so i think the manufacturers could solve a lot of problems but why should they when it can easly be passed on to the fixer whos problem it realy is at the moment just how do you know 100% that the primer is spot on to even out the drying time as they are made to stick the sticky to the wall first i am rambling again

ok i will ramble a bit more for every pound spent on reps markting and it would cost about 20 p a bag of sticky to add the polymers we need to be sure but as long as we are taking the risk with
so many get out clauses for adhesive supplyers they will carry on regardless the problem as i see it when some think goes wrong why dont the tile shops hand out leafletts warning us no toghter thinking

Don't mind me while I bump some old but popular threads to see if the topic is still active in some way. Wondering if either the original idea or original issue still exists. I've done this with quite a few threads, so don't be offended if this is just jargon these days and not applicable. But I thought there might be a small chance a small percentage of the small number of threads might just be slightly applicable and the thread could get a new lease of life.

Reply to this if you've read a bit and have something to say.
There IS going to be a bigger chance when i do this, that the thread is dead. So don't worry if that's the case, just don't reply to it, and we'll all move on and let the thread drop out of view again.
