Hi all,
Last weekend I took on my first DIY building job and built a doorstep for our front door. The step is currently finished in mortar awaiting the application of the quarry tiles I purchased from Wickes a few weeks back.
I was going to use a wet mortar mix to bed the tiles on, but reading Ossett's post here I am concerned that this may not be satisfactory. Should I also use an SBR polymer additive to the mortar, a proper floor tile adhesive of sorts, or simply carry on with a simple mortar mix?
Cheers!
