i just tanked around my shower former with durabase wp. i used 10kg of mapei keraquick mixed with 3kg of mapei latex plus (and no water), i started off well with the flexi strip but when i came to lay the wp mat over the shower former the adhesive had dried out alot. the end result was slightly lumpy and patchy adhesive under the mat with a few air bubbles around the edge....i'm super naffed off because i've done everything right up til now. just wondering what the future implications could be to this??

did you run the flat side of your trowel or a good straight edge over it once laid?

Or plastic float

yes i did, alot. the airbubbles are only round the edge and theres only a few. the membrane is very well stuck down its just that its not as flat as i would've hoped for due to the dryish lumpy consistency of the addy. will make it thinner next time when i do the walls.

should i be mixing the keraquick with latex plus and water or just the latex?

ok i've just looked at wetdecs youtube tanking video again and it looks like i need to make the adhesive up alot thinner so it goes on easier and i have to mix up less at a time because it sets too quick.
