    Tanking limits .........

    With the new bs correct me if I'm wrong but do they stipulate what is a wet area . I believe in some countries a wet area is considered anywhere within a certain distance from say a shower head . Is this bs nice and ambiguous so we make it up as we go along .

    Tanking normal plasterboard

    I have a job coming up to tile a bathroom which will have bath over shower (electric not power). Work has been done before me bath in etc. Walls are new unskimmmed plasterboard.

    Do you put tanking kit straight onto Aquapanel?

    Read in some other forum that some people skim the Aquapanel with tile adhesive then paint the tanking paste on. I've ot one of the Mapei tanking kits to tank a shower area. Thought you could just paint it onto the Aquapanel initially.
