I've been working on a barn conversion recently and it has an engineered wood floor which I've returned back from holiday to finish, the two lads who started it have left me the one side to scribe and several board runs to put down.
The floor is being glued down with sika t54 or something like that , a beige rubbery sort of glue. Sorry if I sound unsure but non of us had used the stuff before. Now our buyer had brought what she thought was just enough going on the manufacters coverage rates and it cost £60 a tin.
However, with the screed not being perfect and the glue skining very thickly in a half tin even though it was tightly shut we find ourselves one tin short.
Of course we want it ASAP , but whilist the first tins were £60 each this extra tin is now £80 plus delivery which means it will cost £106 !
Moral of the story-
Always allow for wastage and add a bit extra on it's cheaper in the long run.
