Tile shop sold me mapei ultra flex light grey for my kitchen splash but it dried really dark in some places. Did I f it up? It was all the same mix so I can’t figure why it dried differently. painting the grout now. Cheers mate, really glad to have found an Aussie. All I kept seeing was Americans with schluter foam or whatever but that’s not going to help me.

Hey mate, great vidz. About to diy a seamless shower about 1500 x 90. Took out the subfloor so that I can set it in flush with the floor joists and get 2cm depth. Trying to suss out the next bit. What mud do you use?

Hi Chriso - I notice that you cross trowel when back buttering - can this leave air pockets beneath ? Some say its better to notch trowel the substrate and the back butter in the same direction to each other to avoid air pockets - comment ?

Not sure where you are from. In Australia you are not allow to trowel on the back of your tiles. We have to trowel the walls and floors

When you lifted the chipped tile off, it looked like all the ridges of glue hadn’t collapsed. Maybe back buttering with ridges is the problem, it doesn’t give ridges a chance to collapse

Hey Chrisso u are a legend - u normally do 15mm trowel on 600x600 tiles with no back butter - so for 750x750mm u do 12mm trowel + 8mm back butter right ? Would it be a pain in the ass to lift up one tile just after laying it to see the glue coverage ?
