If only sbr cost the same as pva ;)

I've 'cut' WBA with pva before no prob so far! I guess the thing to do with any product is find out if it's water based or not, if so then it's fine to thin down with water. Bit like paint really. If you need a key, kiln dried sand mixed in with pva is normally the best way to go, I seal first...

Cheers for the input guys, Andy yes it is a catnic lintel. Like I said I've never had a problem before, anyway went and got a bag of bg adhesive and no problem! I won't be using knauf again, gonna check the date on the empty bag as maybe out of date? But thanks everyone!!!

Normally glue up with board adhesive no probs, but just stuck one up in a bathroom I'm doing and the cun£ come unstuck on me! Now I'm wondering if sticks like **** or gripfill would be better? Will the solvents melt the polystyrene? Anyone have a solution? It's gonna be tiled on so some...

Hi guys, Got a room to float out (blockwork) and just wondered what the correct way to go over cable conduit and metal straps? In the past I've just given these bits a thick slosh of WBA so as to give a key for the hardwall, does that sound ok? Also I have a bit of exposed timber...

Hi again, I think some of you guys need to calm down a bit with the blood boiling :flapper: I did learn how to render to a basic level but as im sure you will agree there is a lot of contradictory information out there and it seems that no 2 spreads do things the same. I was taught to add...

Hi Guys, Thanks so much I like the idea but is that a 'normal' thing to do, i.e I have never seen that done! Do you mean cast with ballast? then bead up and finish with one coat of render? How would you make the moulds. cheers fellas
