Adhesive for anticrack matting

[Tony_C]

I tend to use a 6mm also & I use one of these for my matting also for a better adhesion

Always 4mm for me. I use a Karl Dahm underlayment roller. 6mm notch can bunch adhesive when rollered

I alway use rapid with membranes too. The bond strength will be there next day

You can put more weight on with durabase than ditra. I go 30kg and 20kg.

6mm for mats for me, 4mm is hard to get coverage

When I first used Schluter Ditra years ago(with Schluter's own 4mm mosaic trowel) I did query with Schluter that I wasn't able to get anywhere near 100% contact. There reply was, basically ......''not to worry,it's not supposed to be''

With a cavity mat if you use to much adhesive and it gets into the structure of the mat it loses it effectiveness as a movement membrane

Also as vapour management

Hi they are the overlay boards from poly pipe.the mat is the orange mat from tile easy, I primed and stuck down with a 4mm notched trowel peeled bits back to check for coverage all is good. Used rapid set to lay it then standard to lay tiles. The mat is really good defo going to use a mat again. Customer isn’t overjoyed he has to fork out another 400£ but prep is everything I say
