Hi all I've got a newbie question here!
I've got a kitchen splashback coming up soon with 200x100 ceramic metro tiles, I'll be using mapei mapegrip D1 ready mixed adhesive.
My question is do I need to prime the walls first even though it is a ready mix? I have always primed before hand but I've heard lots of people saying you don't need to prime when using ready mix?
The wall is painted but in good stable condition. Could I just get away with tiling straight onto the painted wall without priming or would I need to score the wall first? Or should I score then prime? If I can avoid the sanding then that would be great!
I'd appreciate any advice thank you
