First tiling job after my course with UKPTT - TilersForums.com

[Cranbrook]

Just went to CTD and opened a trade account and got the Ardex kit with some cement/foam boards with the washers. I’ll tank the joins, silicone the bath to the boards and then tile (do the cement/foam boards need to be primed? I can’t remember and my course notes are at home - I’m sure I prime everything regardless, right? SBR of course ).

No need to prime the cement boards

 

[Flintstone]

I would prime the cement boards even if Just to remove any dust

You do indeed mate
Do I need to drill a pilot hole through the cement/foam board before driving a screw through it?
