Hi people. Your advice please.

1) Going to do a job, back end of this week, polished porcelain 600x600 and customer has been sold Mapei Adsilex P9 adhesive. I dont normally use this so unsure as to go ahead or supply my usual stuff.

Having called the technical dept Im still unsure as they said it could be used.

Its a Light coloured tile so I have a potential issue with bleeding from the underneath although the p9 is white.

Substrate is screed with underfloor heating.

2) Priced a job this morning and all ok to tile straight away, perfect boarded walls except - Theres a 5x4ft mirror , no nailed, and Im mean properly no nailed to the wall. Theres no budging it at all. Its only about 3-4mm thick.
any suggestions as I really dont want to be smashing it to pieces to remove.

Your thoughts would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Sean.

Question 1 - more info needed. What type of screed is it. :thumbsup:

question 2 - think you'll have to break the mirror - why not get the client to do it cos of the 7 years bad luck thing.....:yikes:

Mapei Tech sheet for Adesilex P9 says only for tiles up to 300 x 300 with underfloor heating..

that's answers question one then!

As for question 2, I was thinking of chopping the whole wall out with mirror on and replacing it with fresh board as I'm expecting it to be ruined whilst removing the mirror.?
