I don't mean to kill the mood, but get a refund, that adhesive is crap, one of the most unreliable out there in my opinion, tell the shop you gait a tiler and he insisted in supplying his own materials. Let us know what else you can get your hands on and we'll keep you right!
Your bound to be about Belfast now and again. In the scheme of things it's well worth the trip, just phone them and make sure they have the renovation screed there for you, as Gary says it's a super levellerBallymoney! There's two tile shops local to me that sell dunlop. When I got mapei gear before I got it in armatile on Boucher.
Yes.Going to change plan!
Eco prime t as far as I know can only be bought in larger containers and as I'm only tiling 2/3 metres I don't want to pay that much and then throw it out! It is quite expensive!
Reading between the lines of this thread I've came to the following conclusions
- if I can remove 100% of glue I don't need a slurry coat and I can use any SLC ( doesn't have to be two part)
So I can sbr and use slc and then tile.
- if I can't get 100% of the glue removed I can either slurry coat and use any SLC and then tile
Or
Use a two part SLC n then tile
Am I correct in this?
And the Saga continues!
Went to tile shop number 1
Had no two part leveler or standard set adhesive and when I asked for sbr he asked me what that was! He then told me to try tile shop number two!
Tile shop number 2
Asked for leveller adhesive n primer
Brought it all out from back n put it in the car.
So I come home happy n inspect my purchases!
He'd given me a latex smoothing compound to bed trowelled on. So dubious of my trowelling skills I wasn't amused but thought lets try this!
Back to the floor, I taped up the door n got to work with my grinder to clean the remainder of the glue off. Went over the full floor and inspected after, all it really did was smear it around. So started to scrape again!
Scraped an hour and getting more n more annoyed, I read the instructions on the smoothing gear. It said can be applied over non soluble residue but no bitumen! My knowledge of glue residue being very slim injust got confused and angry! Boiled the kettle to try heating the glue n to my surprise it turned it white and made it bubble up and Easy?! to scraclean. I scrubbed the floor clean using clean water n left it to dry out.
I then decided to use the leftover SLC from my living room so I could pour it rather than trowel it. Primed the floor and out on the SLC and that's where I'm at now![/QUOTE
well eventually your getting there, you seem to be on the home straight now
