Roberto has shown us the importance of date codes. I know I have been preaching this for years myself. RSCB you keep finding out dated product in your town - I bet your the only one living there that even knows they should check.
Shared Data Men. This is key. If we teach people that they need to check thin-sets then stores will not order so much at one time. Then we change the way the companies do their basics - so it serves us better not them. If we challenge "Paid For" studies with private data. Then the masses can pick for themselves who is right and who is selling product.
I enjoy Terry's forum much better now that I have Ignored the Kerdi Salesman. I enjoy the back and forth with you men because we all work together - in this industry. I could see use busting each others balls on any job site. Most likely we three chirping Vegas for leaving his copper end clips everywhere! lol kidding Vegas.
.....John I wish I had only been paying attention to date codes sooner. INSTALLER Error.....
Is it... Have you ever been taught by a manufacture to check. Do the building codes require checking? Nope - nope.
When I had my first Kerdi failure (Kerdi falling off walls with vacuum) my Schluter rep asked about it right away (the date codes). When I had my first self levelling failure I found out from a cement chemist my error (old self levelling).
So I started checking like a Ninja all the time. School of Hard Nocks. I bet if you read every printed item from Schluter, Wedi, Laticrete, Custom, Ardex and the like that not one of them mentions this in their packaging.... I wonder why? Yet if you have a failure they will certainly ask you for their secret date codes, batch numbers and where you bought the material.
This is why I snap pictures of the date codes and check them before I leave my supplier.
This is awkward, but...
