I have a disabled wet room to do for a new customer, the sheet they want is Polyflor Hydro. The room itself is roughly 8sqm so I'm just wondering which is going to be the best adhesive for the job. I've used A19 many times but it's expensive and is going to be a waste of half a pot. So which adhesive would you guys recommend?
I always use F44 if you use epoxy and its a on a plastic shower tray the epoxy will produce gas pockets and unable to soak up or down as 2 impervious materials it will bubble unless waited down
Me too f44 .used to used laybond epoxy which you can keep it lasts for ages , just use a bit around the trap.
Or gemini gold spray sells itself as waterproof been used a couple of times just make sure plenty of ventilation
Don't see why not mate. Long as the up stands are solid well stuck and the cappings are done well and welding water shouldn't get in really
Yes I'll use Karndean PS if all I got in my van ? Any vinyl glue will stick it good The main thing is make sure its sealed & the welds are good ! I must sound like such a cowboy but f44 or 45 would be my glue of choice !
It's going into a plywood floor and the falls into the outlet are all ply too, the only plastic part is going to be the wade outlet itself but I f60 around that part anyway. Also it's only getting coved around the shower area the rest is flat that why I want to try and use epoxy.
Question. When using f44 do use let it go off. I do but one previous employer let his lungs loose and told me i should be laying it in wet. He was more experianced so i did and i knew myself i thought better leaving it to go tacky. Spend more time getting rid of blisters than u do waiting for it to go off
I always let my adhesive for vinyl go off even it it's for ten mins, never with ht or epoxy though. But literally a few weeks ago I used uzin2000s and it was a window of 20mins to get this piece of sheet in so obviously we threw it in wet rubbed it out and I must say it's probably one of the best adhesives for wet stick I've used, it hardly bubbled and after an hour they has disappeared and the sheet was stuck really well.
we have all used F44/46 or various acrylic adhesives and 95% of the time they don't give you any trouble, but the spec for most products in wet areas are either a two part epoxy or one part polythene, look the product up in the RAG, gives both options, dry and wet areas F81or F74 if my memory is correct, i prefer to use the polythene F74 myself, same as normal adhesive really just a little slippy when laying rubber tiles, sometime you have to weight it down, but when its gone off it not coming up, you can use it exterior as well, bit expensive double dropping vinyl really helps with reducing bubbles when laying into wet, spread it out, lay the vinyl, rub into the adhesive, pull back and leave for 5/10 max then relay pushing as you go
