problem tiling onto bonding plaster

[cowgomoo]

Hi y'all, I know this is a big no no but what is the exact reason behind the wisdom. Is it a chemical thing or a strength thing or just what precisely ? My prospective client is assured by the plasterer that it is ok as he has done it loads of times before but I want / need the job and don't want to walk away from it so if you could give me the precise reason I would be most appreciative.

Cow.

Too much suction.

Have a look around adhesive sites and plaster sites and you will find info to back you up. Print it off and show the client.....get ready to make an enemy of the plasterer though !

Hi man thanks for that but can't you just tell me lol. Cow

It says in the data sheet from the plaster manufacturer that its not suitable to tile to, that should be enough for your customer.

Do you tell the plasterer how to plaster? no! if it goes wrong (and you know it could) it'll be your fault, i think you answered your own question knowing that you can't do it. But can't fault you for asking why gotta learn somewhere and no better place than here about tiling.

You can use thistle dri coat backing to tile direct to Thistle Dri-Coat

It isn't stable enough to tile directly to.... tell the plasterer to stick to his own trade... plonker.

Just shows that he hasn't got a clue about his own job yet he is telling you yours it beggars belief what does he know about banking?
