And if the edges of the path are not totally sealed then it'll suffer moisture ingress, don't you agree?

tilemaster be as / mapelastic??

Yes I did check. Basically its not suited for areas where it will be exposed to standing water i.e. puddles, end of fall etc. Ok if getting covered.

@antded where did you check ? On bag? Tec help line? Shop? Out of interest

@Mark@Tilemaster can you clarify your use of this product please ?.. Is it ok in an open freeze/thaw scenario... .?

Say maybe a few inches of snow sat on it freezing for a few days , then a thaw... ?

I was thinking more on the lines of
' what in the gods do you think he is going to cover a outside path with, carpet '

Ps I'm sure when I asked to do my patio with a slc tilemaster said no, maybe they have brought a external one out, I'm sure I read on a bag it can be used externally the other week , but it could of been another make, I've slept since the other week

Saying that, there addy is for external I hope, I tiled my patio with it and it's solid ,and it's been snowed on, rained on, sunshined on, frosted on and wee'ed on by drunken lads and it's still solid ,

I checked with their Tech Dept. I take on board the comments about the moisture ingress ... but hey it is outside.
The path does slope considerably and designed to slope(ever so slightly) right to left as you look at picture, so technically - water always running away. The exposed edge was filled with extra adhesive. Not much more I could do, other than use an alternative leveller. Live & Learn.
Gut feel .... 100% happy with job.

Don't mind me while I bump up some older but good threads. If you can contribute to the thread, go ahead. But if it's nothing for you then don't reply and it'll soon drop off the What's New page etc.
