    Hardie question.

    Quick question guys re 6mm hardie board going over 18 mm ply. I've been to 3 different topps tiles to get the 25mm hardie screws but they only have the 32mm which are too long. (Pipes etc). Can you use 20 or 25 mm turbo gold screws. I'm sure I saw something on here where some tilers do. Thanks

    Who Polybonds New Plaster????????

    Bit of a quick straw poll here. I still Polybond new plaster with watered down pva before tiling. Always have, always will. Who else does? Having an argument with a smart arse builder "who's been tiling for years" who says its not needed. Your thoughts please. Cheers :beermug:
