blinking bloody cheap trav,

started,what i thought was going to be a nice trav kitchen floor,had to dry lay and cut the first corner at the highest point(after measuring,sorry rack of eyeing my best options:smilewinkgrin,around a load of units,so i could work my way out, christ on a bike,about 8 cuts i did,around casings/units ect,when i backfilled and about to lay,snapped,snapped,blinking snapped:mad2:,and onewhich snapped landed right on a edge of another id just laid :cuss:i got down about 1m2 by lunch.
was going to post at dinner,but where i was working no internet or phone signal,so could even ring anyone to rant:cuss:

so got in my new l200 and just drove around,happy days,came back all calm and happy:hurray:

i won't say where i got the trav from,they sponser on here.

ps,the customer rang me and said 'bloody looking good craig,but the price you gave me,were gonna av to av a look at it,don't think your charging enough':yikes::drool5:

Only 1 suppler( Sponsor) on here of Trav.. OOPS!! :lol:


Like i have said time and time again... What someone say's is premium grade isn't always what you get.. tooo much crap on the market..


Without rubbing salt.. Trav i have been using this week is lovely..

I know the trav you are talking about mate, I've got some to fit next week and went to have a look at it in the shop, awful, full of filler and looks a right mess on the back, I reckon it's going to need back skimming and then left to dry just to give it some strength for fitting.

oh cheers dave:lol:

just what i thought bri,i backed filled a load before i went for a drive with the rapid set,seemed to do the trick,still a blinking pain,the backs were,well looked like they had just cut it out of the rock and polished the front:mad2:

I'm meant to be profiling around the window as well, I'm not sure there'll be a lot of it left after I've run the wheel over it!

Did an 80 metre floor with some absolute rubbish trav last week. Had to go through 6 pallets of crap to do the floor to cherry pick the best of a bad lot. The stuff was falling apart in my hands.

ive used this stuff before, agreed lots of filler and backs need filled with addy

never had any really bad stuff that was falling apart though,

 

[Ian]

Been fitting this the last 2 days and like you said, garbage! Managed to profile the window though! I'll get some pics tomorrow, not the best but, I'm confident it'll look ok after the grout has filled all the holes!

the stuff is nasty!

I dont think the bullnosing will look out of place though in comparison to the rest of the tiles.

I hand profiled some for an access panel a few weeks back and it wasnt too bad (if you dont mind the tumbled effect, lol)

here is a pic



this was a bathroom tiled previously by someone else, I was just making some improvements to a badly done job. They made a crap little panel of of ply and screwed it over the trav.
this was an obvious amatuers who tiled (too many signs) starting full tile on corner of everywall, full tile started onto of shower tray (even though full room is being tiled), mosaics on floor badly set out and up and dwon all over the place.
