    Shower Tray onto Hardie250 or Ply (WBP)

    No More Ply

    Does anyone use a primer with No More Ply before tiling, the booklet with it recommends SBR latex based primer. I've still got some Mapei primer G leftover from doing the walls , would that be acceptable to use instead or would it be best to get some SBR anyway? Thanks for any info

    hardies onto ply?

    Yay or nay? Customer got a thin ply fastened to floorboards which he says he can't get up. If I make sure they are well secure, use 6mm hardie backers stuck down and screwed down into floorboards do you think this will be efficient? Or shall I tell him its gotta come up down to floorboards?
