[Blunt Tool]

Well done Geoff we do appreciate your efforts!
Can I ask is that Impey stuff like the Mapei WP200 stuff?

No, its very rubbery compared to the WP200 which feels almost paper like. Its self adhesive too unlike the WP200

As above . Good work Geoff made me realise I should be doing test' s on stuff I'm not sure about rather than relying on hear say or propaganda from manufacturer's.

Very informative, got me thinking about my next job if there’s any schlüter kerdi left over might do a similar test

Makes you wonder if you could use something other than Kerdi Coll for the waterproofing.

I know in the US, Kerdi Coll doesn’t exist. They just use Standard tile adhesive.

Good to see that people care about what they do. However, unfortunately it can and does take months for some reactions to occur. I have worked for Impey (But prior to Waterguard). I have seen when reactions have occurred resulting in a thick Black tar coming through grout and ceilings. Trust me. They put installation instructions in with the kits for a good reason. And of course there is the guarantee to consider. Divert from what they state at the cost of it.

I used Waterguard last week and wasn't impressed. I still prefer Schluter and Wedi by a long shot.

It was however, infinitely better than the old Satan's flypaper they used to supply!

48 hours later and no noticeable failure or reaction to any of the products used


So there you have it!

Sorry to bump an old thread.

Just wondering, did you run the test any longer than 48 hours in the end and, if so, was there any change in the results?
