Hello all, been lurking for a while trying to pick up tips & info before I tile my bathroom but need some definative answers if you would!
The walls are a combination of Aquapanel (on the areas that will get wet i.e. shower cubicle & around bath), plaster board on the internal studded walls & plaster on the solid walls, the Aquapanel & plaster board are new, plastered walls have had tiles removed but in good order.
Tiles are ceramic 330 x 250mm
Now for the questions!!
Do I need to prime any or all of the walls if I use a bagged powder adhesive?
Do I really need to use a bagged adhesive or is a good quality tubbed adhesive acceptable?
Always used tubbed in the past & never had any problems but these tiles are larger than ones I've used previously, the main thing putting me off bagged is the relatively short pot life (2 hours with the Weber stuff I can get at a good price!!).
Great forum & hope you can put me right with my questions.
