    Hello

    I need to put down floor tiles over a very small area (1.5m2) of hard, glossy non-absorbent surface (an epoxy dpm applied to concrete). So I need an adhesive that will bond OK to this surface. Trouble is the area is so small I don't want to spend a fortune on bonding primer and/or 20kg of very expensive tile adhesive just to do this tiny area - and then have loads of waste! So while Bal fastflex two part adhesive would undoubtedly do the job fine, the cost for this small area and the wastage of product are less than fine!

    Any ideas??

    Thanks
    Dom

    No takers then?

    OK I'll answer my own question, maybe for the benefit of others one day.

    I'm going to use everbuild epoxyset 112 mortar: http://www.realoakfloors.co.uk/ever_bui ... tropic.php

    Toolstation sell it for £27 including delivery (bargain). Not super-cheap, but I know it will work. And any that gets left over will come in handy again. And it has the added bonus of having no water in it, so I can put it down after my wood floor goes down without causing any problems.
