Hi all

Was talking to a cutsomer yesterday about tile adhesives and the like and he was putting a tanking membrane in the shower area. Good stuff thinks I but hen he asked me how he should affix the tanking to the floor and the walls and I have to confess I did not know. What sort of adhesive do you use?

Single part flexible adhesive

As above but rapid setting.

Another question I will be able to answer thanks to the forums. Cheers m8

with a light trowel too!

Only with a 3-4mm notched trowel

BUT...if it was a green screed then a slow setting flexi adhesive...moisture in the screed doesn't affect the slow set like it does fast set.

Only ever see the floors and wals before or long after tiling so not seen the tanking membranes. Do they look like ditra and the like or are they something completley different.

This one was Impy he told me.

I think that can take only 20kg in tile weight, black stuff

Can't use the impey on walls...if it is the self adhesive one.
