Tubbed addy for 300x600..... - TilersForums.com

I wonder how many are diving in.

I'm aware of the debates that fly around regarding tubbed vs bagged and size limits ect, but I stumbled across this the other day.

Hadn't bothered about it till a thread on here earlier.

Adhesives and Sealants for the DIY, Trade & Stationery Markets

Now that must do what it says on the the tin, I'd imagine it's not very practicle, I would assume the drying time is huge, haven't read the full specs.

Any thoughts??

Wow. I wouldn't touch that with a barge pole. It would take forever and a day to dry, if it ever did. It also says it will cover 11m2. How big is the tub?

As Matt, would'nt give it house room

Can you imagine trying to fit 300 x 600 porcelain on top of existing tiles with that tubbed addy! :yikes:

I just checked on ScrewFix and the Tub is 10ltr. 11m2 out of 10ltrs? Are you kidding me

used to advertise for them lots of pics but never used it
just put there buckets in the pics lol

I'm certainly not advocating using it, but a company like Evostik can't make claims like that without having done the research, the 11ms from a tub is a very bold claim!!

What has actually caught my eye recently is that more and more tubbed addys are adding porcelain to their list of suitable materials.

All be it pointing out greatly increased setting times.

Agree, not with a barge pole

Im just thinking about the 30 year old spot fixed ceramic tiles and crumbly plaster that's going to be under the 600x300 porcelains :mad2:

Maybe you only need to use a 2mm trowel with it, or a light skim.... :lol:

Oh dear, stay clear!

I tell my customers to take anything called tile a floor or wall back to where they got it from for a refund, the tile a wall version that also doubles up as grout seems to be on every other job I go to.

Not sure what its made from but has the consistency of cheese spread & god knows what they put in it to make it so slippery when in contact with a metal trowel, its a struggle to get it from the tub to the wall without it slipping back into the tub or straight off onto the floor.

Hate that stuff!:mad2:
