![]() ![]() That's all I know about super flex other than it sticks to tools and buckets as bad as 254. I saw some guys using it on a sidewalk with some sort of membrane a few years back. I would still use it occasionally but the tile shop that sells it is out of my path. Went to pop it off, no luck, had to get a chisel and break it out in pieces. Got back from lunch and noticed a crooked tile. Second time I used it was wall tile on tile in dry area. Ten years later pleasant surprise,I went back to that home to do some plaster repair, no cracks in tile or grout. I told him cheap tile, terrible floor under deserves good thin set. ![]() When I gave him the bill he went ballistic on the thin set cost, said the thin set cost a lot more than the tile. The builder didn't ask me for a prices on small jobs since I had been doing his home building carpentry for years. I used a half inch trowel on floor and back buttered tiles. I went to the pro tile shop told the guy what I was up against. He said she would be selling in a few years anyway. He insisted NO backer board ,told me to put a roofing nail everywhere the four corners meet. I insisted it wouldn't last long without a backer board. He said NO, he was paying me, he bought the tile, his daughter is getting tile and labor free.įortunately the home had strong joists, 3/4 1圆 on 45 and ply on top of that. I told him I needed to put a backer board down. The kitchen and dining room had 30 year old 12 x 12 old school glue down vinyl, curled up on edges. Builder I subbed carpentry from asked me to do 800 feet of porcelain tile in a home his daughter bought. I only needed a thin layer of thinset to cover the mat compared to the thicker cable systems offered by competitors that usually require touchup after the pour.First tile job I did was with Super flex.
