Tile Adhesive Testing - Strength

[Rizzle from the Portizzle]

It all started on another forum when a BAL rep suggested that White star will gave a stronger bond than any single part flex adhesive out there. So I said I will put it to the test. But then it all got a little bit nasty over there over me liking a post from another member. All a bit playground really but the up shot was I asked for my account to be removed. I am so glad ray took up the challenge and he has done a better job of it than I would have. I am also grateful that lee has taken the time to post it on this forum so we can all see the results. Just to clarify I have no axe to grind regarding the test I just wanted to know if the reps statement was accurate.

well we had to test that.we done the test for you glad you will see the out come if you have time would be great to see you at the chopping up

maybe an unbiased person would suit but after all it is a bit of fun.. so let the reps loose..

the reps can chop the tiles up its the tilers who will do the three test .did it take up the subststrate . is there an even slit on the adhesive between tile and substrate.will the tile only come up in pieces:8:

 

[Protilers]

myself and ray will witness each supplier chopping up each others tiles ....I.e....danny (bal) will chop up the keracoll......and John will chop up the bal.....etc.....

come down...one and all.....worst case senario....you can learn a thing or two about porcelthin tiles..............Ray........pull the cheque book out.....I hope this will be used as staff entertainment on a large scale!

I look farward to the results, wish I could make it, but I must agree with Ed about the SBR, I have fixed quarries, quarundum, terrazzo, dust pressed tiles, using portland slurry, but never porcelain. I think the porcelain tiles will pop up with a fingernail under them. We shall see, as Ed says porcelain has almost zero porosity so will not absorb any opc to form a mechanical bond.

I hope you guys have a blast, checking the results, enjoy your bacon butties.

 

[DHTiling]

In the REAL world guys, yes SBR would be used, the test does not have it.. simples IMHO... let the hammer speak for it's self
