Fix-a-floor. For fixing tiles with voids.
Got to use this fix-a-floor stuff today. What a load of... rubbish, and that's being kind.
One loose tile 300 x 300 and the grout cracked a bit.
Drilled eight 4mm holes in 6mm grout lines. Cut the nozzle for a snug fit. Injected it in.
Only about 5% went in, while most just came out the same hole. What a f'ing mess.
Ended up lifting tile spent about a half an hour cleaning up then relayed with adhesive.
Stuff has the consistency of melted ice cream, gets everywhere.
If they changed the nozzle to something with rubber on it, or just make it all rubber, to get a tighter fit in the drill hole, so more goes in the hole rather than out of it. That may help a bit.
If you see the advert for it on youtube, its nothing like that. Obviously staged to make it look so easy to use.
