I was at a job yesterday starting to tile a bathroom. The bath wall origanally had a 5 tile high splash back around it, and was painted upwards from that. I checked to see if the paint was sound and it looked to be, so i began to apply Bal Bond to the walls with a roller. I left this for around 30 minutes or so until the walls felt dry and tacky, and then began to put the tiles up. I got about 7 tiles along when had to pop a tile off to pack it out slightly as the wall deviated a bit, but as i took the tile off the adhesive peeled off with it like it was on a sheet of rubber. I checked the other tiles and they did the same, when i rubbed the wall it was like peeling off copydex. I then tried keying up the walls a bit more and tried again this time when i had to take a tile off all the old paintwork came off with the tile and a thin coat of the plaster! I removed all the tiles and checked all the walls again when i realised the plastered walls had blown in places all over the bathroom. I cleaned up and waited for the customer to get home, told him about the problem, etc and gave him the name of a plasterer i use as i wasn't willing to tile onto the walls as they were. I'm sure when i priced the job i checked for any problems like these so i have no idea what happend, what caused the Bond to not soak in? what caused the plaster to blow? and what made the paint suddenly want to fall off?
Help please. 🙁
