Tubbed ..... again..

[widler]

Im just worried about the 5 million odd houses thats been built over the years using tubbed and had no problems!
Who's wrong, the millions of pads with just tubbed or the 5 or so tilers on here ?

Ps i usually only use it on kitchens, but have used it many times,with no probs,

Lol

And I suppose all the tiles ive fixed with tubbed are all falling off behind me as I leave the jobs , mmm

Well as someone stated BrianTheTile, most bathroom tiles are now over the max tile size for tubbed adhesive, 300x300mm.
So you are telling us that all the bathroom tiles you have fixed are this max size or smaller?

Stef,mate,I think we all know that tubbed can't be used with certain tiles,I think it's the point that folk say it can't be uesed in showers when,in fact it's been proven over decades that it can.
Yes,some have failed,but some have failed with powdered as well, if it's not done right in the 1st place it's gonna fail.
Anyway,another beer for me

What I am saying is this , if you like using powder use it , I dont need to be told what adhesive to usewhere or when ithink as ihave said on numerous occasions , I have been in the job long enough to know and dont like being preached to it real is that simple

 

[Brian the Tile]

Sorry it really is that simple

 

[Brian the Tile]

Stef if you dont like tubbed I have no problem with that, but do you really think the adhesive companies dont know what they are talking about , and bye the way no one came back when I ssked the question sbout which grout you all use , full waterproof or water resistant

 

[Brian the Tile]

I am far from bloody stupid as I suppose a lot of others that use tubbed are, I know what to do and when to do it just that a lot of folk on here cant take that in

 

[Brian the Tile]

And believe me when I say experience counts and I have plenty of that

 

[charlie1]

Brian, just start using powder from now on, I think it may improve your tiling!

 

[Stef]

And believe me when I say experience counts and I have plenty of that

It's already been proved in another thread a while back that your experience counts for Hee Haw.
I never stated I don't like tubbed addy, check my previous posts & you will see I was using green star to fix keraben 500x250s.
I was subbied to a company & that's what they used to use so the job would never fall back on me but I never had one failure with that tile as they were fixed properly (even with the wrong addy)
I'm not the one shying away from a question I asked you?
I've already stated where certain tubbed adhesive can & can't be used,
I would never use a D1 (Green Star) in a shower, I would always switch to a D2 (White Star) as that won't break down if it ever came into contact with water.
Anyway no more arguments, just done a hard workout & going for a shower, I was only putting in my 10%s worth..
