Yeh ok. Fine I'm just pointing out that it's not against the rules and it's easy to mix. Takes 1 minute and can be cheaper

You use an acrylic or SBR primer on gypsum/plaster backgrounds when using cement based adhesive to prevent ettrignite reaction, PVA will NOT prevent this reaction... Simple as that ...that video is a joke ... His advice is going against BS5385 , but if anyone wants to use his advice , then good luck . :sofahide:..


if you you look for Swe's post on here (a sticky'd one ) he's goes into great depth about pva and tiling.
