Same here mate, but until something goes wrong he's gonna keep doing it the way he's always done it... :incazzato:

Had a feeling I'd get that response bagged it is then.:smilewinkgrin:

one of my suppliers has a tubbed addy that is supposedly suitable for large format tiles, it might be "technik",I passed by it and got my usual powder addy

I not a tiler but what is wrong with tubbed. I done several bathrooms and kitchens with it (usually the white stuff from Wickes or B&Q) and never had an issue. I not the greates tiler in the world but nothing has fell off. Also used nagged addys with the same result. I guess you guys use bagged because of quantity and ease - tubbed is heavy going - or can I expect my bathroom tiles to fall off any time soon......:yikes::yikes:

so at wot point do you go from using tubbed to using baged ? ie wot size tile ? wot if you wher doing a full bathrom and all the walls where plaster boarded , and the tiles where 10 by 8 inch ceramics, would you use baged for that?

I use bagged all the time Terry, but to answer your question, ceramics over 300 x 300 are considered large format and therefore unsuitable for tubbed (dispersion) adhesive

I go by this, any thing over 300 x 300 and the walls are not flat, I use powder gear. Tubbed gear can only be spead with a 6mm trowel, bedding down to 3-4 mm, so if you have a wonkie wall, the tubbed gear will never dry.

I can't speak for other tilers Ajax, but I use bagged addy because it sets due to chemical reaction rather than air contact

A kitchen splashback can usually be stuck and grouted in a day (unless an unusually large kitchen :smilewinkgrin, so has to be bagged rapid set.
I get a much better yield, and therefore coverage, from a standard set bagged addy over tubbed so always prefer to use powdered for bathroom walls too. You can pack the odd tile if you have to, which you can't do with tubbed, too. Better value for money, more flexible and versatile product, so I, personally, don't see a reason to bother with tubs.

Ah I see. Is that perchance why some threads on here say that addy not gone off. If you grout your tubbed addy tiles too quickly they have not get enough air contact to set? That's probably why I never has issues cos I am painfully slow at tiling.

Blimey - I having a few beers tonight and resorting to medieval english - perchance......:lol:
