Tiling on Thistle Bonding

[Bert]

Hello, Did you use the "green grit based" Thistle bond product or a similiar bonding product as some of the replies lean towards you having used basic bonding.

The Thistle bond i know is anything but "smooth" as it purpose is to offer a "key" to the job.

Bond it is a pva based primer for use before over skimming, thistle bonding is a backing plaster, which i presume the thread starter is on about

Hello again

So I finished the job. Window wall was bonded as well as above the cooker. Bonding in purple bag. Primed the bonded bits over and over around 4-5 times until I started to see it taking.

I went back to grout and the tiles are stuck like a fly to sticky stuff.

Won't be doing it again but the job cans out flat, solid and customer happy.

It was 2 tiles high all around with very light weight cheap tiles.

Anyway my dog is really old and I'm worried about him

Cheers

Random!? Glad you sorted your tiling issue.

another way to have done it would be to have taken off the plaster and dot and dabbed plasterboard and then tiled, takes the risk out of it and you can do it without waiting days for plaster to dry.

Yeh I know. He's my best friend and it's come to that time to let him go but I'm just not 100%... Such a sad time and it's come so sudden

Gona miss him sooo much and I have to make a decision.

Horrible [emoji22]

Been there with my Lab Buddy. Still hurts like hell and it's been 6 years. Gonna get another dog after Christmas when my house is finished, quite excited really.
I feel for you but make your decision for him sake and not your own.

I know mate cheers. First and last dog this, no other dog will replace this one. Been there in my darkest times with me, such a character and never ever gone for anyone.

Absolutely destroying me seeing him slip down a slope compared to how he used to be.

Ups and downs at the moment. Back legs have just gone on him and kidneys but still eats and drinks and tale waggles. He's grunting allot tho now when trying to sleep.

He's on painkillers and stuff for kidneys.

I just don't know when is the best time. What if he's ok in his mind and I'm putting him to sleep. That's the last thing he will think of me before he goes [emoji22]

I know it's not tiling but it's just what's been happening plus I'm working allot recently.

He does urinate all the time now due to kidneys but doesn't have a number 2. He still goes outside for that when he needs to. It's just he doesn't wana get up anymore coz of legs.

Advice maybe ?

Thanks

Anto, it's time for the mercy shot fella. Been there myself a few times over the years and each time hurts as much as the last but you'd be doing him a mis-service if you allow him to suffer.
