Tile next day?

[Dougs Third Go]

off up to Scotland tomorrow after work to do a 15m2 church vestibule. My mate says floor needs a 25mm slc on average over it, I've worked that out to about 20 bags. The question is, would you tile it the next day?

no, just me mate. 22mm thick limestone slabs going on floor too.

 

[Andy Tiler]

.. Have fun think of the money mate...!

You should be fine if you're struggling for time. No reason not to after 3/4 hours I would think. I prefer to SLC last thing, and then start next morning.

9 bags Doug, just to be sure

I was going to say it depends on the slc you use...... I've used some when fitting vinyl where I've been laying on it less than an hour after levelling!

 

[Dougs Third Go]

glad I'm getting my diesel paid for, that's half a tonne of addy and slc in my trailer and tools in back of pick-up for 230 miles :yikes:

I think Doug is on about the moisture in an inch of SLC... i have seen thick SLC still sweating the next day... rock hard but still with moisture in it..

What colour limestone is it Doug.?
