    SLC over a heat mat......

    Agree! You can’t use a spiked roller with Bal either.

    Re-useable lippage clips

    Remove after 6 hours?! No thanks! Also looks like removal is a time-consuming faff. I’ll stick to Mustang

    Tiling over UFH using a levelling compound onto Marmox Boards

    Mapei renovation screed is good, make sure you use correct primers. I also use foam and cut excess off after SLC set. Mapeker isn’t very user friendly imo. I would use an S1 adhesive from any repuable manafacturer - your local tile shop should carry a few options. Does it have to be rapid? A...

    Plasterboard /ceramics

    I don’t prime pb, but I always tank any wet areas.

    Tanking normal plasterboard

    The Mapei kit bucket with mapegum, tape and primer is good and readily available in screwfix. I like the 2 part ardex one too but it’s not as user friendly.

    Impey Waterguard how high to go (Part 2)

    SLC over a heat mat......

    How to get shower tray into recess?

    Put the tray in tight against the squarest corner and pack the 3rd wall with board, either dot and dab or double thickness if tacked. I’d use a waterproof tiling board like orbry but plasterboard would do. Tank before tiling.

    Could it be a fault in the tile glaze?

    Tiling onto Ply, can it be a success?

    I’d personally ditch the ditra and overboard with 6mm Hardie. S1 adhesive is fine.
