I dont find this method any good on anything other than calibrated stone. Differing thicknesses call for a wetter mix

"Screed it out then mix up a slurry, usualy 50-50 cement and water, add a dollop of sbr".

A much better bonding method is a mortar gauged with Ronafix and water, 1:1, and a primer/slurry of Ronafix mixed with cement, 1:1Ronafix

Simeon, you would have to go someway to convince me that it does the job any better than simple slurry and sbr.... I would understand if my system failed but its yet to happen
