Tling over old tile adhesive - Tile Advice

[widler]

Ain't you telling him to " go ahead tile 6mm ply" that's advice mate,by thee

 

[beanz]

I haven't told him to tile onto 6mm Ply. We've only just found out it is 6mm Ply!?! The guy I work with used to tile on 6mm ply, and I know for a fact it doesn't work!

 

[The D]

Who says he's advised 6mm Ply!?! The impression I get, is that he's advised 15mm Ply, but they want to try this first. If he's going to get paid to do it twice, because they refuse to listen, good luck to him.
as for having a problem Deano, I'm no sad *** Internet warrior, you fill your boots mate.

How does what I said make you come out with that sort of rubbish???? I never said you was a sad *** internet warrior read my post againand then wind your neck in

the ply can not be removed. The wrong adhesive was used originally. The job simply means applying the correct adhesive. Although I am a flooring professional, I am not a tiler so wondering how important it is to remove remains of old adhesive. I know what the theory may say but I am wanting practical experience on this matter.

I'm not sure it makes any difference who says who said what.
We all know how to do basic prep to a bathroom floor.

Facts are:

1) Floor has failed
2) OP reckons its only the adhesive to fault. But both he and we all know 6mm ply isn't correct, and isn't helping.
3) A flooring pro - but not a tiler is doing the prep and the tiling.

but more concerning for me is

I know what the theory may say but I am wanting practical experience on this matter

The practical experience that is wanted is only for if and how much adhesive to scrape from the 6mm ply?

So IMHO, its someone earning a dollar doing a job they shouldn't really be doing. Maybe at the expense of a good quality tiler who lives round the corner, but is struggling to find work, for whatever reasons it could be.

I might be totally wrong though!

If I could just put my two penny worth in here, I wonder how many people on this forum know who Deano is?

I don't want to embarrass Dean, but I feel he is not receiving the respect he deserves, the respect he has earned over many years in this industry.

Dean is a time served tiler (a master craftsman) imo, he was a lecturer at south Birmingham College for seven years.

He is currently a consultant for City & Guilds criteria. At the same time being a very sought after tiler running his own business.

This guy is the real deal, having won jotm comp, and joty title, I would never argue with Dean.

I respect him as a great tiler and a all round good guy, so I think unless you can match Dean's qualifications, I would be tempted to keep quiet until you feel you may know more about tiling than he does. Just want to set the record straight.

We can all be tiling superstars on forums, think about it.

This has all got a little out of hand!?! I wasn't accusing you of saying anything Deano. In fact, I don't even know if your comments were directed at me personally!?! What I was saying, was that I don't have a problem with you having an opinion. I don't get all stressed and argumentative over a post on a forum. It wasn't meant as an attack on you, but if that's how it came across, I apologise mate.

Nobody's arguing with Dean!?! And your post, although interesting, wouldn't be relevant anyway, as I certainly wasn't disagreeing with him on tiling method!?!
