How do you lads use epoxy resin adhesive for karndean,ie trowling out, setting the planks in etc Hippyfitter
I hate epoxy at the best of times, but with karndean yeuch! Is it a bathroom or something bigger? If it's a small area i dry lay the tiles first then take them up and spread the adhesive in one go. Don't know if this is the recommended method but it works for me. If it's a bigger area i do the same but work in sections.
Oh and make sure you've got plenty of alcohol wipes to hand cos if you leave any glue on the tiles you'll never get it up.
what i do is.... dont use the nasty stuff LOL. I use the same as normal adhesive but tend to work alot faster . Its been a long time tho since i used the stuff. Whats the reason behind useing it mate?
Iv been fitting a narrowboat out!!! for a shop i do a bit for and they have got there heart set on using it and i bloody hate the stuff!! The whole job has been a nightmare to be honest First day was to ply it out using 4mm ply!!!!!!!!!!! i have lost count how many times i have told them to stop skimping on ply. After that i primmed the ply. Went back the following day to find the ply had all delaminated!! pinned it back down,went on to skim the joints out only to see it delaminate again!! by this time i was pulling my hair out :lol: This job was booked in for 2 day,so on the third day :roll: went back to try and fit it,set the epoxy out in the border,after about 2 hours of waiting for it to slightly turn i fitted the border to find the planks just popping out of the adhesive. finished the border,glued out the field and tried to fit it with no joy at all,lost my rag and ripped the field out,scrapped the glue up and went to pack my tools up only to fall over twice in the mud. Then it took me two and a half hours to get my van out of the mud filled car park!!!!. They want me to go back but im booked up for another two weeks. suffice to say,i had a real bad day :smile: hippyfitter
