    Keraflex on plywood

    Hi, I have bought Mapei Keraflex to lay slate tiles on a plywood base. Will I need to prime the plywood before using the Keraflex and if so which primer should I use? Some say I will need to use Primer S but others say that there is no need to with Keraflex. Thanks David Bass

    Mapei Keraflex

    I have been using the B&Q Buildfix recently which is the Mapei Keraflex in disguise (they offered me a trial batch at £15/bag). I know it's spot on for Porcelain and stone, but it does not mention ceramics anywhere on the details. Can I assume it is ok for ceramics? Thanks
