Thanks for the reply, substrate is concrete on the floor. The walls are block covered with what they call plaster here but it’s just sand and cement. Some local products are tilefix, tuffstuff but it’s just adhesive and grout they sell. Can get some SA products, TAL, Progrip but not waterproofing kits etc just bonding agents, adhesive and grout.What background are you tiling onto and it is above a solid floor or suspended floor, is it ground floor or first floor and above .
Do you have any local shops that supply tiling materials and if so do you know whose materials they supply .
Thanks for the reply Andy, can’t get Ardex here.You might be best go online and searching for Ardex or another manufacturers & see if they have suppliers in Zambia or on the continent

Some Acrylic, some latex based so not sure if this is classed as SBR,not sure if that’s the same thing. Instructions on latex one: add to adhesive and make a slurry apply to the wall and let it dry. I think it’s just for better adhesion though not sure.Are the primer/bonding agents acrylic or SBR product
Yeah I’ve looked into that. It works out really really expensive. About £32 for 7kg’s And then maybe I’d have to clear it at customs etc depending on what I get, its a bit a headache. That’s another cost. Thanks though mate.Can you get the one you prefer shipped in by Amazon
Mmhttps://www.tilingsuppliesdirect.co.uk/product/everbuild-503-sbr-bond we used to use sbr and cement to tank damp areas over here , like cellars , and damp courses, maybe that is what they tank with in zambia, sbr mixed with addy ?
Thanks Widler I’ll look into this. I think you could be right.

I got my Level 1 extended Certificate City and Guilds and was about to start Level 1 diploma but then we moved here, the tutors were great though they knew I was leaving so they let me do some of the diploma stuff too before I went. I’m hoping to return for a short time and do the level 1 diploma starting September.were you on the level 2 Cskills diploma or city & guilds level 2
I’ve just opened the link ta, so SBR is latex based great stuff thanks mateThanks Widler I’ll look into this. I think you could be right. Cheers mate.
Just another question Is SBR latex based or Acrylic or are they both the same thing? I’ve looked online but can’t find any definite answer
