We've had enough of Mmotimoh & 3strikes derailing this thread & always referring us to a Thread that was hypocritically created by an Elderly Fool EgunMogaji2 all because of a little criticism ”Abe Orule” |

diordaves: I don’t see how the adhesive will handle the uneven floor either but I’m willing to learn new stuff. |

EgunMogaji2: I’ve done this and shared here before at OPIC Isheri. Pics below. Please take note the floor wasn’t screeded ahead of laying the tiles like we normally do while using the OPC cement+sand approach. Just few qty of sand was added to the tiles adhesive with OPC to fill up the uneven spaces. Nothing more. I’m not sure the worse of uneven DPC floor would be as bad as the floor below. _______ This guy Gbenke has been doing some for years now https://www.nairaland.com/1476839/floor-wall-tiling/1#27325243 I just stumbled on the thread.

There’s a big difference between the installation above and the one below.

BrabusNG: I still see mounds of sand and mortar mix though. As opposed to the pic below. 2 Likes

EgunMogaji2: The pic above is a leveled floor as opposed to the rough surface in the pic below ![]() There’s absolutely a need to compensate for the uneven surface but not the conventional way. Just by adding few mortar to the mix.

If the adhesive can work on the surface above without using the conventional approach, I doubt it’ll pose any issue on a surface like the one below. Well my job is to make it work... I have two bags of Supafix to put this to test on different surfaces (wall, floor, wood, steel, concrete, sandcrete block, plastered, unplastered etc). There’s no harm in trying. 5k experiment can’t hurt.

EgunMogaji2: Lafarge is not doing well promoting this solution. I’m sure it’ll reduce our over-reliance on OPC cement. A smart approach would have been to give some of these adhesive to beta testers to try it out and give their feedback on public forums. Naija business people sha ![]() 1 Like |

BrabusNG: Could it be based on market research? As in not many interest? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by BrabusNG: 6:43am On Apr 09, 2021 |
EgunMogaji2: No o! Big construction companies (elected ones) have been using this solution for years in Nigeria but the marketing team were so relaxed to get them to review the product on the public forum. The promotional items given were so boring. I’d do a better job promoting such a very good solution. Even @MMotimo can attest to this. ______ Imagine the huge savings I’d get if I do not have to plaster my bathrooms before installing tiles. |

jabolo: That’s how we roll here until trolls and cry babies came to divide us. This is the place where we demystify construction in Nigeria. You bring your wild ideas and we wow it to life here. We are not here to build for everyone but to build a community for knowledge exchange. I’ll encourage you to learn how to swim with the sharks as it often get hot in here once a while. Thanks for the mention. You inspired us to do more. _____ You can never have it bad with brabus on your project. He be like say devil dey control some people though.

Let’s reason these things na! There’ll always be altercations and differences on projects. Resorting to cheap blackmails is not always the fix.

These tiles at my uncle's place are almost 10 years old. The white lines in-between them ain't cool with us the younger Gens, but him & older Gens no send. He said we can do what we want tho. So experienced gentle men, can anything be done to make those white lines become black? (Replacing the tiles ain't an option) Thanks
