Does tub adhesive break down quicker than cement based if in contact with water?

Some break down quicker than others, let's compare mapei D1 and D2, do a little test, take an equal amount of each and place in a tub of water, leave for a given time then remove and compaire the difference.

theo walls i tile i wouldnt imagane would be any different to the walls you tile ,i prefer to use ready mixed adhesive as that is what i have used since it appeared on the market and to be honest i have never had any problems,its not the size of the tile that matters is it its the weight,ready mixed adhesive has been around a long time now ,im sure if was no good they would have stopped selling it,i have no problem with anybody using powder if thats what they want to use ,the problem i have is with folk preaching and telling folk not to use it as if it is no good,i use granfix adhesives and grout ,now lets wait and hear everybody slate that because its not the right one

Is love to see someone tiling on some of the walls I've had recently with ready mixed and large tiles. Last time I used was 4 months ago, all gear supplied, tiles where 400 x 250(ish) , my only saving grace waS that the walls where spot on so used an 8mm square notch. Do yourself a favor Brian, I know about old dogs and new tricks but if you have a CTD near you then try using Webber set + on the walls (white) I think you will be very surprised at how well it applies to the wall and it does work out cheaper too.

I last used tubbed adhesive to hold open a swinging door. Worked a treat and would thoroughly recommend it in a windy situation

I use it from time to time depending on the tiles I am using and the substrate I am tiling on to , white star is the best tubbed sticky I have used and I have fixed thousands of square m2s with palace supergrip on site work over the years , if any one has done site work as a subby you will have had to use it at some point my adhesive of choice nowadays for wall tiling is tilemaster light weight powdered adhesive and mainly setaflex for floors

When using weber set+ on plasterboard walls do peeps modify the adhesive with AD250??

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

I dont bother if its straight onto plasterboard.

I have used on contract work 1000's tubs of sticky but these days I only do domestic , and bagged adhesive all day long.

No, but make sure you prime with 360, IMHO it increases the bond strength x 3
