BAL Bal wp1 tanking system - Tile Advice

[Flintstone]

anyone familiar with it? Is it any good? How long before tiling on it? Thought?
I have about 6 different wet areas to tank throughout April so looking for options..

 

[Old Mod]

24 hrs I think Andy.
Fastest has to be either a membrane or WPC I think.

Not really a concern that actually, have you used it?

 

[Old Mod]

Yeah I used to mate.
It’s just the same as any paint on grey paint really, they’re all much of a muchness I reckon.
Although the isomat one is thicker than most.

I've used it. It does the job, but it's an old school emulsion.
24hrs is ideal circumstances, if cold or too thick - much longer.
I'd suggest WPC or BAL Tank-it (improved version of WPC).

 

[Flintstone]

Bal tank it and wpc are one and the same aren’t they? I haven’t used either but I read nothing but praise about wpc, so I should probably give that a try, does it need whisking ?

 

[Old Mod]

No they’re completely different, unless you mean WP1 and not wpc?

 

[Flintstone]

Bal tank it, new system 2 part.. and Ardex wpc the same ?

 

[Old Mod]

Oh right. Not used the new Bal one.
No longer buy their products.

Bal tank it, new system 2 part.. and Ardex wpc the same ?

They look, smell and appear the same but BALs is suitable for outdoor and immersion. I can vouch that it really actually is, I tested it myself.

 

[Flintstone]

Think I’ll try one or the other.

 

[Andy Allen]

Tank it is by far the better product...
And I have used both...

 

[Flintstone]

Can you apply in the same way Andy, roller and brush or do you need to trowel it on

 

[Andy Allen]

I use a brush..
