I have a problem guys. I'm tiling a bathroom and one of the walls has that formica type paneling that cannot be removed.
Do you know of any primer that would allow me to tile to this type of surface

 

[Perry]

yes but but how well is the board fixed whats it made of or do you mean Contiboard ? or Formica but you would be better removing it

 

[jay]

you shouldnt need a primer as it cant penetrate finding a adh that will garantee over it might be an issue :8: why cant you remove and :welcome:

 

[dennyjim]

:mad2: Because there's a huge hole in the wall behind the panel

PJC the board is very well fixed and it's Formica on 1/2 " ply

well remove the board and replace it with backer board or plasterboard or overboard it
