Laying an Anti-fracture mat - TilersForums.com

[Shultzy]

I'm about to lay an anti-fracture mat onto plywood, does the ply need any coating before I lay it?
1 or 2mm adhesive underneath the mat?
Can I use BAL Single Part Flexible Tile Adhesive for the mat?
Can I use BAL Single Part Flexible Tile Adhesive for floor and wall tiles (they are 9.5mm ceramic)?
Powder or ready-mixed?
Is a 10mm notched trowel the right size?

What anti fracture mat are you intending to use exactly, is it a BAL Rapid mat type or a Schluter type? I prefer to use an acrylic adhesive for Schluter on plywood for instance.
What are the walls made of?
Powdered adhesive is always better than premixed.

I was going to use Dural DuraBase CI++. I only need 4 sq m which seems to be expensive as its only a small quantity. The walls are waterproof plasterboard.

Waterproof plasterboard doesn’t exist.

Its the green plasterboard.

Its the green plasterboard.

It's neither waterproof nor water resistant. It's moisture resistant and will need tanking on a wet area

Yes,it will be tanked. I'm just unclear about the anti fracture mat.
