    Primer after tanking Hardie Backer?

    I’ve got Hardiebackers for my en suite walls and will be tanking them with BAL WP1. Do I then need to apply a primer for the adhesive after tanking? I’ll be using Mapei Keraflex S1 as my adhesive. Cheers.

    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.

    Tiling around Wetroom tray drain

    Hi, We've just had a wetroom put in and everything has gone really well and I'm happy apart from the tiling around the drain. I assume this isn't the finish/ standard that I should be getting? Or does it just need to be grouted/siliconed?
