    Priming screeded floor

    I am looking at tiling porcelain wood effect tiles and wanted to use Ardex x7 onto a sand/cement screed. I called their tech helpline today to see if Ardex P51 should be used. The advise given was no primer is needed just clean floor hoover etc. Does this sound right?
