Prepairing a concrete floor.
Can you help,I have to tile a concrete floor,should i use the adhesive straight on the floor or should i prime or treat it with something first.
Re: Prepairing a concrete floor.
If the floor is dusty then prime it.... some guys back blade and then comb through straight onto the substrate, but this method can suck moisture from the adhesive too quick.
So usually best to prime.

SBR Cement slurry to seal. Maybe sand it to remove the rest of the paint residue.
you must all buy this song from any good download site for just 79p. Proceeds to Blesma, RAFA and RAFBF charities

Re: Prepairing a concrete floor.
same as above,
if the concrete is as old as you say, the paint should be easier to scrape off so remove all the paint then sbr
