Guys, we could soon be out of a job if this takes off

Just waiting for the one for direct tiling onto chipboard to come out

Jason are you sure you've got that link correct? It just goes to a few pics of bathrooms. If it is correct - I don't follow. Are those walls done in plastic panels or sommat?
Incidently, I hope you didn't do the painting in pic 3.
Also, I thought I'd mentioned, I don't tile for beer money any more.

 

[Jasonb]

Try it now, looks like good stuff

The client was going to do the painting, still not been done 4 years later

I wouldn't lose any sleep over that stuff Jason.
I wouldn't like to slam the bathroom door if the tiles had been put up with that gear. It's just wrong.

So you don't think it will be anygood for those 1000x300 large format porcelain wall tiles then

Spacers look good - provided your wall is dead flat- not.

Would like to see what it costs, probably 4.99 a tube

he he he erm not really.

Exactly - you can just imagine em slipping behind the tile.

All joking aside, this is gonna create a lot of problems for customers. There's not the necessary support for tiles in wet areas. As you say, the wall has to be perfectly fact - anything else will result in virtually no adhesive contact what-so-ever.
As if this wasn't enough, think how easy it'll be to crack a tile with no support behind it.

people must have laughed the first time they saw the wheel.

 

[gcol]

I'll bet they went "ug"
Believe me noseall, this is not the wheel.

The Plasplug stuff is worse than a square wheel

Paving was one of the things in my remit when I was self employed. It used to be my favourite job. Thermo, you're a lucky man. Good luck to ya.

That stuff looks ridiculous, considering in a wet area you're supposed to aim for 100% coverage and 75% in dry areas, that stuff looks like you'd get 20% coverage at best!!

I'm sure I saw something in a magazine once about a guy that was trying to start selling tiles with the adhesive already on the back, just had a fi;m to remove first. Same sort of lines but the coverage looked better, as you say though the walls would need to be flat.

Even on freshly plastered walls I still had the odd bow to contend with!!
