hi all

just bought 2 tubs of ardex d20

has any one used this gear and if so any info on it, it says it will stick porcies etc, but am always to the belief that powder is the only thing for porcies

cheers for any info

Never used it....i believe it is ok for small format but i prefer a suitable powdered adhesive.

Andy,the d20 is only suitable for small porcelain tiles and shouldnt be used for large format tiles.This product is a few years old,i remember asking about it a couple of years ago.Cant beat rapidset for porcelain m8.

Wouldnt use it on large formats as the norm, stick with powder, however D20 is a superb adhesive. If using D20/30 very rare any batons would be needed, grips amazing. not the cheapest gear mind.

can anyone remember ardurit? just wondering if ardex is same company

I've used it for over seven years now. Great for small format tiles on plaster, plasterboard, ply etc, very good initial grab. I wouldn't use on tiles over 300 x300 or porcelian though. Also self priming.
