Have just finished a full bathroom and forgot to prime the floor
I tiled on ply how long will the tiles stay down for, you think i'll get comebacks? Only 3M squared:mad2:

What adhesive did you use rodders??

what was the floor construction under the ply?

How was the ply fixed?

 

[rodders26]

Was flexible adhesive, the customer bought Pililkingtons home brand and the ply was nailed down onto floor boards.

rodders - If its a flexible adhesive - although I didn't know pilkingtons made adhesive, then it should be fine.

yeah thanks thought i might get away with it using flexi stuff.
Pilkingtons have a wide range of adhesives and grouts Time less.
Ain't the best stuff in the world but ok for small ceramic jobs.

The fact the ply is nailed down would be more worrying to me :yikes:

It would also depend on how thick the ply was/why was it ply in the first place/and if its not the best adhesive in the world - why.
But a flexi adhesive should stick to plywood, but your correct to point out the plywood may not stay on the sub floor!

Sounds like doug :lol:

 

[CJ CERAMICS]

as pointed out before the flexi addy should stick to ply but i would be more concerned about the nails coming loose in the ply.

 

[Gazzer]

Most adhesive manufacturers say priming the face of ply is not needed anyway but i would be concerned more about the nails and thickness of the ply, also was it WBP ply or cheap stuff.
Also any of the other points stated above.
