Use a good powder mix with some admix. 😉

And dont forget the BS for weight to wall ratio.

Plasterboard should carry about 32kg per square meter. I'd use powder too on this job.

 

[tanner2906]

what powder would you recomend we can only get bal doen here

 

[Concept PHT]

BAL is good, but pricey. Granfix is the one.

There is a market there for adhesive mate..... 😉

New plastered walls with cement adhesive, make sure you prime with acrylic primer (bal apd) or the two will react causing failure, any tile over 30 by 30 should be applied with a thick bed trowel as well with cement adhesive. Topps tiles have just started using palace adhesives, good and cheap

cheap ,what a encouraging word

I'd use bal ctf3 plus admix for that mate, 15 quid for a twenty kilo bag plus your admix.

toppfix is made by palace

Topfix I have used was crap, I must admit.
