Hi folks, great site. I've been doing my research on this site over the past few days but this is my first post.
i was hoping that some of you 'ceramic artists' could help put my nerves to rest before i start stone tiling the hallway, toilet and kitchen in my house. I've taken up the old marley vinyl tiles(1970's house) and of course i'm now faced with a bitumen adhesive. From reading previous threads, Professional tilers on here and admin have firmly stated that a good rub down with a degreaser and a neat coating of Bal SBR bond is fine over the bitumen before tiling commences.
One small problem is that i used some white spirit on the bitumen surface to remove some newer adhesive from temporary vinyl tiles i laid myself back in december. the white spirit has made the bitumen adhesive become sticky. Question, will this reset? or can i still SBR bond onto it whilst its tacky? the '*****' is only 1-2 mm thick, covering about 1 square metre.
Regards,
Andrew.
P.s, I have been given so much conflicting advice about tiling onto the bitumen it is now making my head spin!:mad2:
