Webber fast set flexible white.
Check for cracks as you may need a decoupling membrane for stone.

Tilemaster flexible adhesive but it's whats available in your area....

 

[PaulSmith]

Weber rapid set SPF flexi web exclusive good price and quoted including vat, but shipping is a *****. Same with Tilemaster addy.

Locally, either BAL or Mapei Keraflex.

Im going to have to start using weber again and going back to CTD.
Called my local branch this morning and even though Im the only tiler in Peterborough called Ali it took them a while to remember who i was!

I never thought I'd find an adhesive as good as mapei until I used webber, the white fast cement is like cream. I now only use mapei kerraquickquick when I need more working time, I now class it as a medium setting adhesive and can be quite usefull at times but webber is now my main choice of adhesive.

I have been using Keracoll E40 Eco flex white for the last few weeks. Very nice stuff to use.

Weber setting time never lets you down great adhesive reminds me its like the old ardurit s16.

How many bags?

 

[PaulSmith]

How many bags?

20Kg. Got a couple of bags for now, should do well for 8-10 sqm. Over estimated anyhow.

try phoning ctd paul,they do good prices on weber if you open account with them and free delivery:smilewinkgrin: oh, and get a tiger floor trowel for £6 with free bucket trowel !

 

[PaulSmith]

Will do..

Ok, there are vinyl tiles down with bitumen. Solid and down for 30 years I'm told. No chance of getting the bitumen up in the spend or time frame. They seem solid enough.

They have had a heavy sand course and clean. Shall be priming tomorrow with Mapei primer G or bond SBR and using keraquick spf.

Any advice welcome.
Dry laid this morning.

 

[PaulSmith]

Just wondering if Primer G is okay for this application or if to use an SBR, what is recommended with mapei keraqucik SPF.

Thx

 

[judge]

I would get the tile up and prime the bitumen underneath with rapid flexible and sbr mixed together to form a paste.I use a brush to cut in and the flat side of a large floor trowel to spread out the slurry mix.(paste)Also get hold of a fan or two to direct airflow onto primer to aid with the drying time :smilewinkgrin:

 

[PaulSmith]

Stuck down pretty solid and a nice course finish but will consult with customer.

If i do end up taking off the vinyls leaving the bitumen, what SBR is recommended with keraquick?

Thx

 

[PaulSmith]

Given the vinyl's are stuck solid, just wondering if the syntactic primer G would suit even though the substrate isn't porous.
I say primer G as I am using Mapei spf and it's what I have on the van.

 

[PaulSmith]

Mapei helpline suggested mapei prim grip as a primer. Non of the retailers had any so primed with SBR.

Job finished this morning.
