One thing confuses me . If there’s so much adhesive squeezing out it can knock other tiles . Also you need to clean that all out the gaps where the grout goes . So you are kind of making a f ing mess . See what the welsh boss says ....

Yeah the rips I get . I have a sloping ceiling so if I do get rips i want them at the highest point of the ceiling not lowest where they are visible . Intend to tile first ‘round’ half a tile or so off the floor . I’m guessing though as toilet and shower on same wall I can’t get an arrangement that has a whole tile on both . I might need to ‘play’ and pick a compromise . So ! On the walls do I stick adhesive all over and notch ? - back buttering the tiles ? . Seen videos where they just dot and dab ....

Quick question . I believe Mastik won’t stick to cured Mastik . Fresh ct1 WILL stick to cured ct1 ? ( just thinking of the 2 rounds of ct1 around the tray )

And so my thoughts move to @Onoff ‘s favourite subject - tiling . How do I line these horizontally ? What I mean is do I avoid a grout line over the toilet flush ? Over the shower controls ? Does it matter ? . What tiling ‘rules’ should I follow . Tiles are SWMBO choice ( obviously ) . Though I do like the subtle honey comb effect

So if I tell you there’s just 3 blobs of ct1 under there it’s ok ? To my grave it will go . I did do one thing Nick . On the Marine ply I scribbled nick from wales was ‘ere Then when it leaks and a proper plumber takes the tray up he’s bound to ask “ which joker installed this ? “ There will be your name ... ?

Worn out . Had a session ( joke for @Onoff there ) with my PT - knackered me . Now had that tray in and out half a dozen times . Hard work on your own .

Looking up under . The trap is a bit tricky to fit . Will break more of that block out . Also can just about access with a multi tool and cut that corner of ply sticking out . Trap might clear it anyway ... Would put a photo of the tile adhesive blobs up before laying the tray ; but afraid someone will say they are wrong . Fancy a private PM of it Nick ? But you can’t ever share ( unless it’s right ) . Either way it’s on the ply so very little movement and tray ain’t every coming up anyway .

Done . Blobbed tile adhesive as Nick said . Gone down to the ply so I think good coverage . Also scrubbed the underside of the tray as advised before laying . One (expletive deleted) up though . As I’m slightly further from the rear wall a small section of marine ply is just on the edge of the trap . I can feel it with my fingers . Awkward but I’ll have to cut that out from underneath somehow . Problem for next week . Just to prove its level ...

Mine too . I’ll fit that once tray is in

Stupid question number 10000 The rubber gasket appears to sit nicely on the waste ( ribbed ) . But does the gasket go under the tray or ontop ? im guessing on top ...

I think once in I shall re tank the bit 300mm around tray as bound to of scratched it

Right ! Better fit . Sat on ply now . Gap at that tight end better a bit . Can force the nozzle in there ! Used my glazing sucker to help move ( why do I have one of those ? ? )

Guessing the issue must be my mis placed tanking strip on wall to floor junction - below tray level . Will rip that out

Tried one of @Nickfromwales tips suggest of hammering the ct1 applying nozzle . The tray at the moment won’t go down on the ply - about 5mm above it . Assume that’s not issue as I can easily gain 5mm with the adhesive. As the tray is can get tons of ct1 around the edge later - just one Uber Uber tight edge

I’m not doing that !! ?

Even taking cellophane off tray still Uber tight . Note to self - don’t make it so tight ! Zero movement left and right

Test dry run . So tight taking tanking strip off the wall . As this is below the tray and obsolete will cut out

She can interrogate me anytime

Oh yeah . Winner , winner chicken dinner I just enjoyed the justice moment!

Think I’ll just bed the tray with adhesive today . Do all the ct1 another day . One mistake a day is enough ...

Nah . LL ‘s expect real fights ! . You need to get really abusive !! .

No fight . He’s weak and pathetic. I like a real obnoxious opponent.

I know . Been here before with the t w a t . I suspect he will do nothing . I’ll try and video the imbecile if he does approach me .

Strangely enough he just turned his back on me and walked away . I’ve been too nice and complacent with people ( inc tenants ) eventually it always becomes give an inch take a mile . Took photos of the shared boundary wall . If *anything* appears on or near it I’ll jump on that and start litigation . Regardless of the costs - as I’ve learn’t ; to punish is worth any price . (expletive deleted) ‘em !
