    Not used that one Dave, but have been using creative impressions GBTA for dural ci this week and at first it seems like i hasn't bonded (very easy to remove while addy is wet) but after 24 hours it's stuck like a good 'un.

    I've got ten free sample bags sitting in my store waiting to be used... Are you asking because you may have a problem, or trying to pre-empt a potential problem...?

    I've been using Gypfix this week & I personally think it is really good - mixes up lovely, & performs exactly as per the specification. Too early to evaluate the overall performance / strength etc. but first impressions are spot on.

    I still have not regained confidence in Dural decoupling membranes (after 3 failures) so cannot comment on it's suitability for sticking them down. I will be fixing 50sqm of sandstone direct without a decoupler so will be able to provide a fair appraisal in a few months.

    I have previously used the Weber gear to stick Dural with no issues, but I don't suppose that helps you .

    Could be wrong but why not use a paint able membrane instead of the dural something like Hydroban it may be worth a thought

    Think Dave wants to uncouple due to heating rather than tanking. Dave I am not aware of any jobs where uc membranes have been used with this one but am aware of lots with the creative impressions one and also a few with the weber gear when it was around. Also seen a few with the eurocol stuff. As they are all pretty much the same technology I see no reason why they should not work. You could rIng their development guy....pm me if you want his details

    Not if it is the type think you are talking about. The paint on membranes tend to be just for moisture suppression. They are usually around 600microns and would not really stretch and move the way the laminated uncoupling type do. Trouble is they are also sometimes referred to as uncoupling membranes and that can cause some confusion.

    Thanks Ajax might sound strange but we dont use the uncouple rs down here when working with stone and don't seem to have any probs if in doubt we use a membrane http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&so...MuRfN6H0R3EXgg
