advice required

[honest joe]

Hello everyone, as you can see this is my first post and I am looking for some advice, you see I am going to tile my hall floor and i have laid down the wood to level it the tile salesman gave me "exel bond" sealer for the boards but after reading the info it dosn't say how long the sealer has to dry before I can put the tiles down, any help will be appriciated.
P.S. I am not a pro tiler, just a guy who tries

Hello joe and welcome to tilers forums.......

Can you give us some more info.....what boards have you laid....which adhesive and grout have you got and what tiles are you fixing ..?

Hi Joe Usually take about an hour dependent on conditions. What 'wood' have you used to level the floor with? 12 mm ply would be a good answer.

[honest joe]

going by the tile salesmans advice he gave us "Exel bond" flexable rapid set wall & tile adhesive, "Exel bond"professional tilers primer and Exel bond hygenic flexi limestone grout.
The floorboard stuff we laid was 6mm ply (on advice) so i hope that it is ok
thanks again

wooden floorboards.

wooden floorboards.

Joe,
Your plywood should be a bare minimum of 15mm for standard cement based flexible adhesive. You could overboard again with 9mm ply screwed at 30mm centres and then you should be OK, provided that the floor is stable and solid.......Gaz
