my question, how would you fix them?

What it doesn't say on the website is there resin and mesh backed

I plan to use a bottle and bag mix to back butter the stone and normal mix on the floor and walls.
Would anyone think I should abrade the resin ?

Any other fixing methods recommended?

Topps Tiles is a member of the TTA I believe. As I under it the TTA recommend NOT to fix these type of resin back stone, is that correct?

I may pop into Topps Tiles tomorrow on my way home and see how they recommend I fix them, yes I feel like having a argument in the shop ;)

I heard s2 bandied about for mesh backed stone. I'd much rather use a single part one if poss. Are you using ditra? If so, might be worth going tm's crack mat route with their ultimate.
You may as well ask the bloke in McDonalds first

No to Ditra under them. Got insulation boards/ufh/slc and am using Isomat waterproofing and uncoupling membrane.
so you thin single part mix S2 rather then a bottle bag mix Harry?

I thought a bottle bag mix had a better stick No?

It will be Friday so i do like to have a good argument ;)

I'm not sure about polymer difference but if i had the choice id go single part.
Defo go in and give them a headache though:)
