Hi all, I'm new to this forum but seems to offer lots of good advice.
I'm look to fix some 300x300x10mm travertine to some marmox boards fixed to battons. Any recommendations on what thickness (and product) of adhesive i should use?
The reason I ask, is that i need to join the boards to an area I am plasterboarding and not sure whether or not to use 9.5mm or 12.5mm boards, which i will skim (resulting in approx 12mm or 15mm thickness). The marmox boards I am looking at are 10mm, so there will either be a 2mm or 5mm difference in depth. Any opinions on what would look better??
I assume I have to use quick a thick bed of adhesive for natural stones, so providing the bed is greater than 5mm, then the difference in depth shouldn't be evident, or would it look odd if very little adhesive was visable?
Bit of a newbie question but when trowels are quoted as 6mm I understand this means the finished bed size??? or is this the ridges which will flatten down the actual thickness of the adhesive bed will be less??
Thanks for any advice you can offer
