Your thoughts on coverage? - TilersForums.com

Spoken to Glynn in tilemaster technical support who was very helpful. He can't see anything wrong with what I have done. Could be that it hasn't fully cured yet. They are going to test the batch and get back to me.

Decent coverage but there's deffinately some moisture there. A little strange after 3 weeks.

I'm wondering wether the screed hasn't dried properly and that is why the adhesive hasn't dried .

The concrete has been down for 8 years, but this area is by the front door, and turns out this is also where the cat sometimes decides to empty it's bladder, thought it was a bit stinky I am not a cat fan

Is there a draught from front door as well?

Yes there is

Haha, yeah you're right, it's a new build to me as I remember it all being fields. I meant that it isn't an old house, it's an estate that was just thrown up, you know what they're like.

Can't see any issue there ,what is your concern ? If you are looking for a greater bond strength you need to upgrade from rapidflex which is a c2 rapid to a full on S1 like setaflex , the tiles were well bedded and went going anywhere if you had not hit them with a hammer

Cheers for the reply Gary. I was mainly conceded how easily they came up considering I had good coverage and back buttered and have never actually had to take my tiles up before after 3 weeks (well never) so didn't know what to expect. I'm not the most experienced tiler so was just after opinions and advice from the wonderful people on here. I'm putting it down to the adhesive not being fully cured due to time, draft and cat p*ss.
