Bonding plaster

[DHTiling]

Hi Dave!

Does the "one coat" need also priming with APD or equivalent in order to use cementuos based adhesive? Chears!

I do yes with the b&q one..( gypsum based)....

But i prefer to use the wickes one mostly...

Wickes  – Building Materials – Plaster – Bagged – One Coat Plaster

Ive got a job coming up, the guy had the bathroom plastered, then decided he didnt want the huge skirting boards, so now theres a huge gap between the bottom of the plaster and the wall :mad2:

Hi Oli,

You can of course fill it with tile waste (if you have any), saves you taking them to the dump and pay for it. LOL

The plumber has kindly chashed all the piped into the plaster aswell, leaving a gap the size of the grand canyon between the pipes, so i think it'll be easier to put plasterboard in the gaps as they are half the height of the wall,

why o why didnt the plumber go in first, then have the walls plastered :mad2:

The guys had the whole house plastered, and then gone round and removed the skirting boards in every room, theres huge strips of plaster missing at the bottom of every wall, they were high skirtings aswell :lol:

You should be greatful to the plasterer and plumber as you can charge the customer for the extra work!

I never understand why some plasterers, in many cases, never plaster down to the very bottom of the walls. Sometimes you can see that the skirting does not sit plumb. :mad2:

Also, quite often all internal corners tend to be angled outwards causing the tile to be also angled out. If you are using a combination of large format tiles and brickbond pattern then this angle problem can give the tiler some hasle and frustration (especially if the "bending" starts past the halfway height on a verticle) as the middle section of the wall would need extra adhesive or the internal corner (where applicable) will all need to be chopped flat. :furious3:

Probably find that the old walls were lime morter and the skirtings were put on first then plastered many moons ago, Do see your point in why pull the skirtings off after the walls have been plastered:huh2:

Mmm, 1 of the walls where i have to do a job has bonding plaster on it, shall i get the customer to pay to get it plastered before i tile on that wall or is there another way around it like maybe pva ha ha.

Nah seriously whats the best way to do this if the customer doesn't wanna pay a plasterer to do it.

The bonding is very dry now and would not take a finish, normally I would pva and skim thats with no tiles applied. In this instance I would prime with bal apd and use a spf for the tiles as long as there not over weight for plaster
