thanks

Deffo grey but no it won't bleed through. if you used white you may have problems with the grouting if you didn't keep it really clean.
 
im with Grumps here,you shouldnt have any problems with weight issues as its backerboards,all cuts will need to be done on the wet cutter or grinder.check if they need sealed before laying by testing on one tile and if it soaks ..seal it,if sealer stays on the surface of the tile then it dont need sealing.Just a tip..if they need sealed and to reduce the risk of bleeding then you should lay the tiles first and let the adhesive dry out then next day seal...this lets the moisture escape and avoids bleeding.
 
Thanks guys.
very helpful as always. thought id check as i asked at topps and they told me white! i never trust what they say and always refer back to here if i need a question answering.
cheers!😛unk:
 
Also wipe the hardi with a damp sponge as you work...this removes any surface dust and aids the adhesives adhesion...
