Hello From new member needing advice

What adhesive are you using ?
For example if using tilemaster I would use tilemaster prime grip +.
Or mapei and use eco prim grip

Hi. I am using Larsen. On pack says to use acrylic primer. Perhaps I should ring their tech guys. Thanks for reply

Hi Spud 22, Marley tiles were laid in ATA (a bitumen based adhesive) and were known as thermoplastics meaning they had be heated prior to laying, you might have noticed they were very brittle when you removed them, they did contain asbestos. As far as priming the residue I agree with all above I would prefare Mapei and eco prim grip. Good luck.

Thanks Phil, I have already purchased 10 bags of Larsen adhesive so will probably use their mechanical grip. Downside it is £40 for 5ltrs. Do you think using Mapei Eco grip with Larsen adhesive would cause a problem?

Personally I don't have a problem with different primers and adhesives . Once it's dried its dried . There is a lot of rubbish spoken about use all our products and get a guarantee. If it fails its failed , to my mind unless they can prove there is a reaction between adhesive and primer I don't see they have a way out , but on a side note even if you use all the same product they will usually find a way out . Just to note though this is my own personal view and not upheld by many on tilers forum but over the years I have used many different primers with many different adhesives and i have yet to have something let go .

I had an issue with decoupling membrane delaminating ( caused by wrong glue used at manufacturing plant). However the import company distributing this mat wanted invoices for all materials used and allocated to this job. They presented these to their insurance providers who paid the 10k replacement bill without objection and within a month.
My view - don’t give them any reason to find an excuse, and keep a log of each job as this example occurred 8 months after completion.
