    Default topps toppfix flexi / primer

    what primer would you recomend with this, ive been using bal APD but the
    only job i had in december rang back to say some grout was cracking

    went round and sure enough some tiles were loose

    the ply was already down even before the kitchen went in and it was well screwed down

    looking around the forum most people say bal bond SBR would be better is this right?

    not a floating floor the boards are on joists

    to tell the truth i never thought of the ply thickness, as it was already down and the only place i can check is at the door, will have a look when i go back
