thinset

Post by ricpooley9 »

Hi, I am tiling my conservatory which is 28' x10'.
Firstly there is exterior grade chipboard down, i have now screwed every 8" and pva glued down sheets of 6mm exterior ply over that (i am aware this should have been thicker but its down now!), i have 30 sheets of 6mm hardie backerboard arriving this week (and the correct hardie screws!), and also flexible adhesive and flexible grout for my tiles.
My question/problem is this, what do i use under the backerboard before screwing them down? Every person on every single forum on the internet goes on about thinset, i cant find it for love nor money though, where do you get it from and what brand is it??
Many thanks

Thinset is basically an American term for bagged Tile Adhesive. So use any flexible bagged tile adhesive - grey is usually cheaper
