Oh dear - that's what I've got! Doesn't it work?
I'll do the primer thing for sure.

You can't use it when your tiling over tanking and you can't use it on any tiles bigger than about 250x250
Most professional tilers won't use it at all.

Oh really??
Thanks for the tip.

Not quite true as Ardex D30 can be used with their Ardex tanking kit. It is good stuff and it is ideal for folk who are unsure of mixing cement based adhesives.

I'd tell you but its not here (the project is elsewhere and it's there). I got it on freecycle from a very nice couple - I'll check its good stuff beore I start using it.

Does this mean you have bought (or been given) adhesive 2nd hand? If so I would be wary about it's shelf life.

I can't be certain its fresh - it seems very good and two huge tubs of it. No dust on top.

I've got one here from a tiler - Travis Perkins non-slip wall tile adhesive.

That type of adhesive is only good for ceramic tiles kate, do you know what your tiles are made from?

 

[KateJ]

All ceramic.
