Bit like the size of a camels foot on the sand, it’s the distribution of the weight, rather than picking one specific area

I asked this very question when I attended an @Mapei UK Marketing ceramic tiling course a number of years ago. Mapei aquadefense was around then, so it was only Mapegum they had for domestic tanking. They said consider it the same as weight limits on skimmed plaster.

So what they are saying it has no effect on the limit if you're tanking skimmed plaster, but it would lessen the weight allowance on Hardie per se

Thats how it was basically explained John, yes

 

[John Benton]

So treat every substrate as skimmed plaster if you used their product then

I feel a test coming on!!

Good job I don’t like Mapei then

I tried scratching the edge of the Ardex WPC I used the other day, and that never budged at all

Application by roller tends to be thinner than by brush
