Everbuild SBR Bond as primer - Tile Advice

[janzbro]

Hi, is this suitable to prime a bathroom plasterboard walls prior to tiling with 31 x 45 ceramic tiles.

I believe Dave first posted about this stuff

Also do I paint / roller this on over a tanked shower area?

Cheers :8:

 

[wetdec]

I wouldnt use it over tanking m8...................maybe before check the tanking supplier documentation

.

 

[janzbro]

I thought all walls were to be primed prior to tiling

You prime before you tank not afterwards.... ...

SBR primer from everbuild is fine for priming....

And is available from tradetiler at a good price..

SBR Bonding/Admix agent - (Everbuild)

(Do not be tempted to use cheaper PVA which moisture breaks down)

SBR Bond is a latex based - Highly suited for priming areas before tiling

Water resistant bonding/priming agent and admixture for use in areas subject to humidity, dampness and continuous water contact

Improves water resistance of cement mixtures by forming a reinforcing polymer that increases long term durability and flexibility of the mix on renderings and floor screeds adhesive etc.

Can be diluted up to 3:1 with water - follow instuction on bottle


Size: 5 litre


Price: £11.99 £13.79 Including VAT at 15%

thats a very good price ill be getting mine from tradetiler ive paid double that price for it at trade for bal

 

[janzbro]

Found it at Joeseph Parr (Middlesbrough) for £10.95 or£12.59 Including VAT at 15% if anybody from the Teesside area is looking

Do I just paint / roller this on neat or does it need to be watered down

Would it be suitable for using as a primer before using Mapei Adesilex P9 Flexi Adhesive or would Mapei Primer G be better (same range) in a shower room onto plaster board fitting Ceramic tiles

It will be OK, but I like Mapei Primer G

Use it neat on plasterboard.

Hi everyone,
How long does Bal SRB Bond take to dry over Old Bitumen adhesive, also concrete and vinyl tiles.

Is it Best to give two coats of Bal SBR after the first has dryed.

Giving Floor Tiles, Concrete, Old Bitumen adhesive two coat of SBR will it take the floor Tiles better.

you don't need to prime plaster board to tile it but check with adhesive technical dept

 

[Gazzer]

you shouldn't need to prime plasterboard what adhesive are you using check with there technical dept

I think BAL will say you do need to prime as they say the adhesive can migrate through the boards.

bal are a profit making company they care more about making money than you or I

 

[brian c]

i agree with both of you.....they will always look for a way out.

I'm against priming plasterboard, almost seems like you're putting too much moisture into it.

I thought Plasterboard HAD to be primed if using a cement based addy because of Ettringite failure?
