Take a look at mapei P4 ....3mm to 20mm bed.......

I've always used Ultra (spf) without any probs

Re P4 I see the little black says 'pourable' Dave (like a leveller, it says) Do you use it runny or as the norm. (Got some 600 sq porcelain coming up)

i used to use the dunlop large format which goes up to 20mm and is suitable for porcelain , i changed brands last year to palace but havent used the p.t.b yet .

Profix flexible fast set. £8.19 a bag from CTD at the moment - great stuff!

John........PTB....is pourable thick bed.......can also be used as a leveller but expensive way of doin it..lol...

Yes you do mix it wetter than normal......towel with your SB trowel and fix....it sort of levells under the tile creating a solid bed.....but when mixed thicker can be used to greater depth.....PJC uses ptb adhesives a lot......i have used them occasionaly but tend to manage with standard bed adhesive as i prep well before hand...

Cheers Dave, already put in my quote if I don't like the floor it's getting a leveller on it, not in P4 form I hasten to add

What was the reason for changing to palace?
Is Dunlop not the same as BAL anyway?
