Tiling onto new plaster (Read 3557 times)

jimcam GDPR opt-out	Tiling onto new plaster Dec 14^th, 2007, 10:46am I've read that you should wait 4 weeks after having a wall plastered before you can tile it!! Is this true? (I hope not)

If its just a skim then 2-3 days if the house is warm & dry. If the new plaster has been heavily polished then give it a brush down then prime with BAL APD 1:1 with water. Jason

Also tiling straight onto bonding is not ideal next time skim over it or use one-coat. If you do hack it out then make sure you use a powdered adhesive as ready mixed will not cure properly if put on too thick Jason
