[One Day]

You moan like mad regardless don't you, mark ?

Absolutely.

Ah, I love ‘em when they are that tight!!

It’s lovely to see pics of high end work and I sometimes get involved In it but this is bread and butter stuff right here and I’m not ashamed to admit it.

Old lady having a hip replacement done and the old dear won’t be able to get her leg over.......the Bath. Popping a tray in instead and fighting with the space and trying to bond it to the deck so there’s only a tiny step. All good fun

You should have no issues tiling onto one coat plaster, not tiled onto it myself but have used it in the past as a patching plaster and recall it being pretty tough stuff, with a fairly open texture to it, a coat or two of primer and it should be right.

 

[Waluigi]

Yes it is tough. I don’t remember it being quite so good.

I think my previous experience with it might’ve been the Knauf one coat, many years ago.

Thistle stuff is fine.

Aye my experience of one coat was the blue circle stuff from a bygone era, it was like chewing gum to apply, you could only apply it by troweling in one direction.

What would the opinion be on using rapid set adhesive instead of one coat to level / patch ?

 

[Bond]

I use rapid set adhesive quite often to patch or build up small areas, depending on thickness you may have to apply several coats.

 

[acaciaguy]

Is that preferable to using cement render or plaster in terms of drying time and suitability to tile on?

 

[Bond]

Will depend a lot on depth and areas to be coated backgrounds together with weight and type of tile to be applied.
There are lots of good fast setting patching mortars and plasters available also.
