I have seen this stuff from Homax (Braxton Bragg) that someone can spray on their wall and install tile, grout and within an hr and be done. Sounds a little fishy to me. I've never seen it in action and am somewhat skeptical regarding anything like this. We have been installing countertops here in our shop for years and have never done a tile job. I have installed tile in the past and never in a day. I always take two. Worth the time to do so. However the boss is thinking that we need to look into this. We do a lot of countertops during the week and with say 45% having splash I'd say. I'd really like to know if anyone has used this stuff or has any idea what we are thinking of getting into. I could use some experience regarding tiling and also doing it this way.

I have sort of.

A friend and rep stops by our shop now and then. He started repping for this product line and came in with a board and the can of spray.

You basically spray the wall, let the stuff dry a bit and then apply the tile. The spray is thick so it actually grabs the tile and it actually hold tight. I was able to pull one off that had not been stuck down for long but there was no grout or anything.

I think the idea is to use it in light use areas like the backsplash. Don't know the longevity of the product cause I only saw it on the sample and have never tried it on a real wall.

Might be worth trying a test in your shop. The can was only about $20.

Hope that helps,

Andy

Our tillers always install the tiles grout silicon in one day just using normal methods whether on gyprock or solid brick, they seem to sit around a bit and have a few smokes in between the stages.

Peter. exactly. Why would anyone want to rush a good tile job. Most of my customers wait about 2-3 days to have a tile job installed start to finish, but we use many different tiles and textures. Our backsplashes are more art that the normal lick'em and stick'em jobs.  Many times the BS is as much as the countertop$$$.

None of our tillers rush the job but if they don't finish in one day they don't make money and they don't have a job thats the way it's been for 10 years or so they also do any patterns the client wants and one or 2 of the tillers do the cornice work around the bulk heads and patch gyprock and solid plaster walls in between tilling.

Peter, it is fun to read your post! I can only imagine, when you reads ours over here, you have to translate as well, and figure out what we are saying.
We say sheetrock, you say Gyprock, not sure where the cornice is located when placed around a bulkhead?? 
It is so cool to read what many of the same things we use everyday  are called something else!!

AUS - "the cornice work around the bulk heads"
 
US = crown around the soffit? or trim around a door jamb?

Maybe?

Sorry guy's we even have trouble understanding trades that are interstate. The cornice is the moulding made of gyprock that goes on the mdf on top of the cupbords and also attaches to the ceiling.

Ah ha! Crown around the soffit!

Andy , do you have an "American" to "Aussy" translator for this site? (I won't say "English" 'cause that will upset Patrick!)

Beer is specific to which state you live in I have heard of all of those brands except the the thieving emus. In Adeliade we drink West End some like Coopers and Crownies, when I go out I drink Coronas.

I do not have a translator for "American", I left it in the boot of my car.
