BAL Bond SBR on plasterboard

[White Room]

I think were splitting hairs now.
Both will work, I use a lot of bathroom paints which tend to be shinier than normal emulsion, and I really do see the difference. Next time you paint just give sealers a go, see what you think.
Going to have a look at what British Gypsum they say about sealers.

Your probably right, either one will do the job and BG move the goal posts as they seem fit at time especially there Thistle Uni-Finish but thats another thread.

seems to be more duel primers & sealers
Used a sealer when my Mrs spent over £300 on farrow & ball paint for our sitting room. what a finish it has.
Can't believe i'm serching paint primers and sealers at this time of night.
Ive forgot what the hell this post was about.

Heard good stuff about their paint....not cheap though.

Its about £50 a 2.5l tin but it is the best paint ive ever used.
They also still make paints with lead in if you can believe that.

Can't see that happening with the EU directive, last time I used lead paint it took us half an hour to mix up....

Hard to find where they say it contains lead. but check out there english heratige range
And here's a press release from the Telegraph.

..anyway, back to original question, no need to prime plasterboard for tiling imo

I have found in the past through my own experience that priming new plasterboard does increase the bond strength ( quite significantly ). Was using webber set + and pr360.
