    Hi James, what brands have you available down there?
    I'm in Armagh and have plenty of brands available- mapei, dunlop, larsen, some laticrete still floating about too( gone from ireland now i think), webber in places too.
    I know Armatile supply shops in most counties too and they are mapei distributers.
    Still cheaper by the pallet from Tile Giant i say.
    Can you not get deliveries from Dublin even?
    And isn't botament made in Castleblayney too? Not far from me either.

    I'm putting schluter ditra down on a plywood floor, i was told to use mapei keraquick mixed with mapei liquid latex, unfortunately i assumed you added the latex after mixing the bag with water.

    I can't get it anywhere and just want to make sure any alternative adhesive is suitable. Any ideas / suggestions as to what to use instead and where to get it?

    Also one other question, I am installing a marmox showerstone tray which is water proof. The instructions say to seal the ditra along the edge of the tray with schluter keba / coll adhsive, but i'm wondering would it be safe / ok to just run the ditra over the tray and tie it into the mcalpine trap? What do ye think?

    Longest tiling job ever,

    Thanks,
    James.
