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

Now charlie 1 you are joust showinghow pathetic you really are with comments like that , very childish, you do not know me or my tiling so refrain from the personal insults

 

[Brian the Tile]

Stef why revert to insults , as I have said I dont know how many times I have no problem with whatever adhesive anyone on here uses, so why keep banging on about it, re readmy posts before hittng the button and stop the mud slinging as I dont seem to have mentione your name in ay of my posts, now im off as I have avery hard day on a mosaic kitchen

 

[Brian the Tile]

And for the record I will be using bal white star for theese mosaics , ijust hope that , that is ok with you tiling experts , or do yo think they might fall off?,mosaic wouldn't be my choice in a kitchen , but hey ho we all like to use different things eh

Done a site in 6x6 white this time last year ane got plenty of clean buckets off the job. Unfortunately I've nearly ran out so I am longing for another tubbed site.

Generally don't like how dispersion trowels and cakes but have no problem using it with small tiles on good walls. It has its uses on a block of houses where the generator is 1/4 mile away.

Im curious, your sticking some 600 x 300 ceramics on reasonable walls, what adhesive will you be using now? I remember a post from you a year or 2 ago where you said you use tubbed for 60 x 30's, is this correct? Eye all do things differently in different parts of the country so whatever works for you, I'm just curious.

Keep it decent please gents.......a debate is great and we all have different ways of doing things, but less of the personal attacks and insults please

I don't see how using powder is easier?
Tubbed u just open it and use it?!
At a guess I have used white star on 90% of my ceramic jobs and never had a fail.
I have had fails from powder not sticking to ply boxing though....so I re did it using tubbed

But have you tried white star plus?
It's almost sexual

How are you all going on with the powder in this warm weather?

 

[AliGage]

How are you all going on with the powder in this warm weather?

Using Tilemaster Setaflex currently. No issues

 

[charlie1]

No problems for me either but here are a few tips if your rapid set is going off too quickly. Where are you getting your water for mixing? A big gorilla tub full off water where your washing your tools? This water will be gradually heating up all day so do not use this for mixing! Or your using fresh clean water from outside hose?, make sure you do not use this water either, the water is sitting in coiled up hose gradually warming up so every time you mix a batch, make sure you use fresh, clean, "cold" water from under the ground by spraying the hose for a few minutes before mixing.
