Wrong Adhesive Used...

[AliGage]

Lol how can you accidentally use that ? . From what i can see, its a floor adhesive designed to stick tiles onto floorboards and such... From my limited experience of doing a floor with pre mixed (once) if you leave it a good few days resisting walking on it I think it will hold myself. I think some of these guys here are guilty of being a little "jobsworth" on this one personally. Floor boards move about, Screeded floors are solid. If you had used non flexible adhesive on floor boards then you would have been stuffed but this way round will probably be ok. OMG i just saw,, you ripped them all up.. oh well,, live and learn burp

Lol!!!

forgive the tilers on here seeming like they are very particular on their materials but some of the guys on here are fitting 100's of meters every week so it does really need to be right like Stef says or after a month of bad fixing you could find yourself in a right old mess!

Yes limited experience of using pre mixed on floors as after the first time i realised it was bad. I have been a tiler for the last 8 years, also have done numerous house renivasions from start to finish giving me a good understanding of what works and what doesnt. (I am no 1 trick pony). Also 2 years in college (one week in 4) learning Tiling getting lectures of members of the tiling association on how to do jobs up to british standards specifications. Number of tiled floors onto floorboards i have tiled no floors onto floor boards as its an unwise thing to do. What i ment by my previous comment was,, that the floor he has done in his property, its started so may as well chance it. If he had done it for a customer i would have said pull it up every time hence what i ment by "jobsworth". I didnt mean any offence

Just bumping some of the older popular (sometimes not so popular) threads. Probably wont be current discussion these days but I just need to do it. So just ignore the thread if it's not current for you.
