Question What type of adhesives do I need for my project???
permalink
Here go's......what type of adhesives do I need for my project???
  • I need an adhesive to fit 5sq m of warmup insulation board onto concrete floor
  • I also need an adhesive to fit ceramic tiles (30cm sq) to the Mapei fibreplan I am laying on top of the UFH
  • I also need an adhesive to fit wall tiles onto 2 hardibacker walls and 2 plastered walls (in a shower environment)
Any help is appreciated so I know I am buying the right stuff!

You would be able to use Mapei's Mapeker. It is suitable for UFH and over 15mm Ply. Cheaper than SPF too

You would need to prime the two plastered walls with an acrylic primer (I.E Primer G). I don't see any reason why you couldn't use it for all of your needs. Hopefully Dave will see this and say if I'm 100% correct or not
