BAL single part fast flex - TilersForums.com

[tweakyboy]

Hi guys,

I've got the above adhesive for my floor in my bathroom which is chipboard > 6mm NMP > ditra > 12mm travertine.

I was just wondering if it would be ok to use the above adhesive on the walls in the shower area which is 12mm hardie > APD primer > WP1 > 12mm travertine again?

If not would I just be better using BAL supercover rapid set?

Thanks guys, hope you all have a good christmas

I would use a single part flexible, white and back skim the tiles...

as above i would use a white spf, i would be carefull using a dark adhesive on the floor it may show through the tiles making them look like they have shadows on them, i would make sure the floor is deflection free and use a white spf...

Cheers guys, the single part fast flex is in white for the floors so staining shouldn't be a problem. Will just have to pick up a could backs of white SPF for walls.

Have a good christmas, will post pics just after!

couldnt remember if they did it in white or not...lol, its an excellent adhesive, bit on the pricey side though...

Would use a slow set SPF for both if you're not a tiler. The fast flex isn't the easiest to work with, especially with stone.

I've done a fair bit of tiling before but its not my day job, plumber/heating engineer by day. Its on my place that I'm doing the work so I'm not over concerned about the adhesive being slightly pricey!

Thanks for the advice again.

Tiling complete just needs grouting once adhesive has set -



Bit of floor ready for ditra then tiling -

All complete, just got to do the floor now!

Picture really doesn't do the travertine justice.



Thanks for the advice over the year guys, hope you have a wealthy new year
