[QUOTE="Ajax123, post: 893127, member: 12267"] Jason. You need to increase the temperature of the heating up to maximum for a minimum of 4 days then switch it off for 48 to 72 hours. You should technicaly moisture test but the heating has been on for a while so i would think its dry by now. That will complete the commssioning process. As the screed has cracked I would recommnd the use of uncoupling so,ply to prevent this cracks fro reflecting through the tiles at a later date. It is not something I normally suggest with porcelain unless the screed is unsound. Essentially as it has cracked it's unsound. You could repair the cracks but it' nearly as cheap to put a mat down and that gives you belt and braces. At this point we usually hear the cry "is it really necessary...its so expensive" . My answer...its cheaper to do it properly now and only do it once than repair it later if it fails. Unibond PVA is not the correct stuff to use. Use a proper acrylic or SBR primer and a cement based powdered tile adhesive... [/QUOTE]
