Just a quickie,just got a job 600x300 porcelain for a bathroom on the walls.Am using rapid set flexi even though the walls r solid and skimmed.will this be o.k as regards addy and weights,cheers.
 
use a spf adhesive ( standard set) ardex X7 plus is good adhesive, slower setting time so it gives u more time with ur mix, less wastage. there are only 5 tiles to mtr in that format of tile so as long as walls are firm , weight issue is ok.... make sure you prime walls as cementious adhesives dont like plaster, use bal bond watered to 4:1 ratio.... dave...
 
Cheers David thanks for the advice.is this primer an SBR primer ,and if so does itneed to be left to dry or can the addy be spread when the primer is still tacky
 
bal bond sbr yes or use bal prime apd 1:1 ratio but leave both to dry........ does't take long lol mate.....
