Bisazza start & up adhesive question.

[Old Mod]

Hey all!
I'll be using Bisazza's own Start & Up adhesive this week and in their spec it states that plasterboard must be suitably primed.. That's fine, but what they don't state is what kind!
Can anybody advise pleas?
Thanks,
Marc..

Haha ok wicked thanks.
That's what I generally use but today bought their regular primer, only because there was no mention of plasterboard on the back. Dilution ratio? Or neat?
Appreciate it!

Found this on the website.......

This is a step that serves to render the substrate selected for tiling perfectly smooth, uniform and white (a substrate showing differences in colour will spoil the appearance of the finished mosaic). In the case of plaster, use Bisazza adhesive, mixing Start and Up fluid in the recommended proportions. Before skimming plasterboard with adhesive, the surface needs to be sealed with a coat of suitable primer (consult makers of chemical products for the building industry). Having prepared the adhesive mix, spread uniformly using a plain trowel (steel float). The skim coat should dry for at least 12 hours.

A good quality primer should be ok.

Yeah found all the tech sheets I could on their gear,I even emailed Bisazza a month ago! No reply of course, I'm just a lowly tiler I spose! Haha
i was just going to go ahead with decent primer, but thought I'd check first.
Thanks CJ
