Yes, on smaller and less risky areas; shower and floor are more demanding.

Detailed answer

DIY application is possible, but it requires calmness, precision and respect for the technology. It is best to start with a smaller area, create a sample and stick to a complete set. For the first application, Aqua Nature with transparent Gela Cryl TR100 makes the most sense, as this combination is the clearest to apply. Ideally, use a complete set with Aqua Nature trowel and transparent Gela Cryl TR100 gel. This is the easiest combination to apply and is good to start with.

Common mistakes

  • mixing non-system layers without verification
  • skipping the gel or final varnish
  • choosing a system solely based on appearance without considering the load
