primer
A primer is a short single-stranded nucleic acid used by all living organisms in the initiation of DNA synthesis. DNA polymerase (responsible for DNA replication) enzymes are only capable of adding nucleotides to the 3’-end of an existing nucleic acid, requiring a primer be bound to the template before DNA polymerase can begin a complementary strand. Living organisms use solely RNA primers, while laboratory techniques in biochemistry and molecular biology that require in vitro DNA synthesis (such as DNA sequencing and polymerase chain reaction) usually use DNA primers, since they are more temperature stable.
hello, ive got a job coming up and there could be a deal with the step at the entrance of the wet room. ive looked in tilemaster product guide and it says you can tile on top t&g boards after priming with prime+grip primer. Has anyone done this before??
Please can anyone advise if Mapei primer G is required when using Mapei buildfix wall tile adhesive on newly (8 weeks ago) skimmed bathroom walls? Or can I just use the adhesive straight onto the plastered walls?
Thanks very much for any advice

Got a job to do a small amount of tiling behind the end of a 'free standing' bath and a sink/toilet below window height. The builders/plumber that prepped the area used ply to box the area. I am going to...
Do you use the same primer make as the adhesive or do you use say tilemaster primer and weber adhesive.
I know manufacturers will say you have to use the same but there selling the stuff......in the real world is primer not just the same with different labels?

Hello All
Do you still need to prime Green plasterboard before tiling with a cement based adhesive & porcelain tiles 600mm x 300mm . I have primed the shower area & tanked with the Mapei Kit.
Thanks all
Anyone used this primer on a hemi hydrate liquid screed floor , says on the technical site only needs diluted 1 to 3 , and that one coat is sufficient!! Any primers I've used on these screeds before are all 2 coats rolled in opposite directions to each other ?
Hi all

Bathroom will be tiled soon, probably upto a week from now.
However to save time I dont mind tanking the over bath area myself.
I have bought an aquaseal kit, in the various steps listed it says a minimum of 6 hours between first and second coat of tanking membrane. Hence time wasted around...

I've been told to apply primer G neat, then someone else said 50/50 with water depending on the type of surface it's going on to as you don't want a skin to form. Then, dilute depending on how it's absorbing.
How do u guys apply, or doesn't it matter that much?
