Everbuild SBR Bond as primer - Tile Advice

:yikes:
Never did tiling before, just having a go mate.
Gave the bitumen a good neat coat of Bal SBR Bond, still a bit tacky, also were no bitumen on concrete also still tacky almost two days later, almost dry.

If I was to give Floor Vinyl Tiles, Concrete, Old Bitumen adhesive left over from removing tiles,two coats of SBR neat will it take the floor Tiles better.
Thanks Mate.

you are tiling the paper not the plaster

Haha Very true! Is the paper enough to stop a reaction then? I really can't afford to be forgetting what little i do know!?!?! :lol:

Sorry to bring up an ancient thread! But I'm about to tile a bar concrete floor and don't know whether I need to prime it or not. I happen to have some Everbuild 503 SBR left from a garden paving project, so when i found this thread I thought it could be handy to know if this would work?

Do I need to prime bare concrete (rough finished, not machined, and never been tiled on before, it's been laid a year but only just getting round to tiling)

If so, do I need to use it neat, dilute it, make a slurry with cement? And how long will it take to dry?

Thanks!

Yes, dilute it 1 part sbr :3 parts water and apply to the concrete with a brush or roller. You want it thin enough that it soaks in and doesn't sit on top and skin over. Let it dry and then tile away.
Clean any grease etc from the surface before applying.

Thanks Steve, I'll do just that

Hey, tiling a painted wall in my living room. I’ve scrapped the paint off the best I can and scratched some lines into it before I prime it with SBR. Do I dilute the SBR before I prime the wall?

Really you need to get all paint off the walls for a job that any of us could even begin to say might last !unless you sticking paper Tiles to the primed paint surface . I know it's alot of work but some plaster or boards are not strong enough to hold certain weights of tiles !paint is never strong enough
