Shrinking adhesive/levelling clips. - TilersForums.com

[Time's Ran Out]

No shrinkage with sand and cement!
I remember when I was a lad .........

Ultra spes white is great all rounder!

Another brand I want to try!

I think with some of the newer adhesives that have recycled materials added to it and using more water would create shrinkage if some sorts

Just noticed first hand how much Biogel shrinks. This happened on very porous ceramics.

Funnily enough I had a bag of Magix with the same tiles and it didn’t shrink at all.

I’m still not convinced that Biogel is the wonder adhesive that people go on about. Sure it does mix up nicely and clean up is a breeze but with the shrinkage and that ultra long set time, I don’t think it’s for me.

I feel a little bit like I’m in tile adhesive limbo at the moment. Need to find a go to adhesive.

The last line in post number 9 is your answer.

I’m on the case Lee

Just need to drive over there and negotiate a price and also which adhesive would suit me best.

80% of my work is using a white slow set for walls.

Do we have an Isomat Rep here?

I’d highly recommend AK20 for you. I’m sure @ISOMAT UK can PM you and arrange a deal and delivery.

I was thinking the AK2o was the one.

I did scroll down to see if they did a 47 but no joy. I’m sure they’ve heard that one before

 

[Waluigi]

Just had another quick look- AK20 for my walls and AK22 for my floors which tend to be tile backer overboard jobs.
