[QUOTE="topcarper, post: 676802"] Hi, can someone please tell me whether it is necessary to use an acrylic bonding agent to a rendered wall? Basically i have a guy doing my bathroom and i am having 30x45x12 trav tiles put up, the walls were originally tiled halfway up with tiles that sat proud of the wall on cement render onto the original bonding, above this the walls are plaster skimmed which the builder was going to bond over to bring it out level to the cement render below until i asked or told him (after reading lots of really helpfull stuff on here) that i thought he needed to use a tile backer board adhesively and mechanically fixed to the wall to tile onto as the plaster skincoat was blown in places and wouldnt hold the weight and also that a bonding coat wasnt suitable for heavy tiles, he was more than happy to do this and has used Dukkaboard which appears to be solid and secure, my only real worry now is whether to use some kind of bonding agent onto the existing cement render where the old tiles were (the builder removed these fairly easily without ripping much of the cement render away) When i bought the tiles i also bought some BAL acrylic primer as i thought it might be worth doing, i have read that PVA is a big no no so i want to make sure the guy is aware of this Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks [/QUOTE]
