A bit like that video posted above but quicker and making sure my S&C mix was better!

All this 'self levelling' stuff does not help your tile laying skill.

what is that wet slur he then pours onto the semi dry mix?

Day rate!

No, on a price - remember I am getting the floor level too...this could be 5 inch screedbed.....can you imagine pricing that up in SLC.

the price would include the laying in S&C .... I reckon I could lay 15m a day (no labourer) using 600m x 600m

think of the time saved against money spent when building. It is a shame we have left this method behind.

what im trying to understand is how does the tile pyhsically grip to the bed of sand ?

30 minutes and just when you think he's going to lay a tile the video stops

not to the sand but to the cement and with porcelain it will be to the added polymers

Would you need leveling clips using this method..

Blimey, I'll never get that time back, watching that fella in the videos....
Like watching some crazy old school alchemist at work; tubs, bags, pots and ladles all over the place!
Don't fancy trying to move that massive "grab-bag" full of dry mix when he needs to tile in that corner!!

Last year I also did a garage sand concrete, the size 300x300. but this trend I do not understand if you're joking, or you believe you can do that job in the video ..... tilers without consciousness there are still around is the type of video will have scored at least 4 tiles, that guy in there works 3 world. update which is better. no hard feelings
