Hi All,

I am tile onto some wedi concrete foam boards and I am having issues spreading the grout. When spreading the grout quite often it will drag and leave gaps in places instead of going on smooth. It will often take several paces until I get a satisfactory result. If I re-do a pass it will often come off completely.

I am using a norcros fibre https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/.

Any ideas where I am going wrong, I have tried several different mixes ranging from firm to quite wet, I have thoroughly cleaned the trowels both 6mm and 8mm have the same issues.

Has anyone ran into this before and how did you resolve?

Thanks for any help?

Personally I would prime the boards after making surgery are clean , I know it says priming not necessary , and if you still have problems use the flat edge of the trowel to spread a skim of https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ on the board, pressing firmly, then put on more https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ and use the notched side .

That is usually a characteristic of a cheap https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ I find, not very sticky. Can't say as I have any experience of the one you are using

What primer and https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ would people recommend, this https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ came highly recommended from a local trade tile warehouse.
