Travertine adhesive?

[PaulSmith]

How many bags?

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

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.

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

Thx

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:

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.
