Date on the bag is 19.12.2016. so it's still in date and yes I've already used another manufactures adhesive on a separate part off the floor which has stuck perfectly.

Well that Kinda proves its the adhesive for me then if that was also S1

150mm on floor and 300mm on walls need screws(BS)

Is that right?!

I know adhesive companies have been struggling with the different types of ply on the market and the variation on what you ask for and what you get. I would reckon Webber will come back with it hasn't been primed correctly.

Apparently doesnt need the surface priming.

No..... 300mm floors. No can't see any recommendation for screwing on timber walls, just says it should be avoided in moist areas, and if you have to use it out of desperation..... or for a bet, keep the areas as small as possible.

Ha ha.... I said "moist".......... I'm such a child!

I would always advise priming with an acrylic based at 3:1 on ply with the grades that are out there now! Have seen this twice with different brands in the last six months and the answer has been sub standard ply whifh wpuld have been ok of primed correctly! Personally not a fan of these "no prime" adhesives available because of this!

And if you prime against the manufacturer recommendations they blame the fact you have primed it !!
Can't win really...

I was always told not to prime ply unless it's dusty. Beginning to which I'd primed it now but if the instructions say not then I'd be going against the mi's, so they'd get me on that.
