Discuss Adhesive/primer recomendations for tiling on tiles in the Tiling News; Tile News area at TilersForums. USA and UK Tiling Forum

Please checkout the following advertisement.
I am tile the kitchen and took up the tiles, only to find another layer of tiles underneath. These are small square ceramic appx 4"x4".

This first layer is perfectly flat and very solidly attached to the wall substrate whch is plasterboard, dot and dabbed onto breeze block (70's built house)
I tried to lift one and it took the plasterboard underneath back to the brown paper.

I am retiling the whole kitchen and would like any recommendation on what https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ to use, should I key in the tiles with a mini angle grinder to lay another tile layer on top?

The tiles that are going over them are larger and also ceramic.

So what https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/? and does it need priming, if so what primer?

Thanks in advance
Jon

I really think that the term "PVA" should be added to the censored word list and anyone found using it should be banned!! lol

The information on the Keraflex bag will tell you whether you need to prime before using the https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/.
