Thanks guys! I forgot to mention the addy lol its granfix powder so it'll be two coats neat then addy

Im guessing I ought to do the tanking first as well to get the overlap the right way too ?

Cheers!

I will probably use a BAL WP1 kit as it's popular on here so thats gotta mean something lol unless of course there's a better option?

He is not asking about tanking either Neale, I thought Jay's point was valid for others that may not have purchased a primer but might be looking for advice anyway.

Are you sure Dom ????

Jay did not ask anything ?? Ajax made the post about epoxy primer and i feel it would be better started in another thread.

If i were tanking then i would use a membrane and not a paint on system, just my opinion!

Please will you point me in the direction of a membrane. I would like to try something thats quicker and cleaner than the paint on type.

its a good idea to buy a little marshalltown internal angle trowel for applying the corner strips

they cost around £10 but they really come in handy for lots of applications.

Deffo not 3:1 THEN another neat 2 coats....:yikes:
pleasee help i am really worried. I am worried i have ruined the gypsum plaster and will need it replastering.
You just need the neat coats on their own when using cement based as it reacts with the gypsum plaster background

What does it to do gypsum, I've just applied a weak solution of granfix onto gypsum, and then a neat coat, will it ruin the gypsum plaster? will I need it replastering?
I need a whole new kitchen and I cannont afford one, here is a picture to show what I have done
