I'm no longer tiling, my knees and back couldn't cope with it any longer!

My business now would conflict with one of your forum sponsors so it's not really appropriate to link any longer.

It is good to know people made (and are still making) use of it.

Victor, many years ago before I knew what I was doing I did exactly what you did. My tiles are still on in a shower cubical in my own house, 6 years on. But like you when I first found out I went numb, have never done it again, listen to the advice of the guys and do it properly, you'll sleep better at night

What about sbr bond is this classed as pva or more of a primer?

 

[DHTiling]

SBR is not PVA and yes ok as a primer.

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

So is it ok to use sbr as an additive or would u recommend using webber primer if using webber addy?

 

[DHTiling]

Additive..? .. Weber supply additives for the adhesives and one for the grouts.. what are you trying to achieve..?
