Advice on fireproof tile adhesive

Mapei primer G...

Well...

The stove has been on for about 6 hours now - the plaster behind it is not much more than comfortably warm. I can easily put my hand onto it and it just feels cosy. I guess around 28 - 32C.

The warmest part is around the place where the chimney pipe enters the wall, about 1200mm above the stove itself. Again, I can hold my hand on the wall and it's not uncomfortably hot. I'm going to put on a circular enameled steel 'rosette' to protect the plaster from over-heating.

Any particular brand of Primer G to get?

Thanks,

Neil

Thought it would not get that warm. there are loads of primers you can use for this type of application - I personally would recomend an epoxy if you are using a cement based adhesive. This is becasue they are not particularly affected by the warmth and eliminate the risk of chemical interaction between the gypsum in the plaster and the cement in the adhesive. Acrylics do not seem as effective at this when there is heat involved.

it's the proper stuff to prime your plaster with Neil, you should be able to get it where you get your keraquick from, don't use PVA:yikes:

Sorry to hijack for a second, Doing a wet room and the builder made the falls to steep into the drain and now has to build up and suggested putting PVA down before he puts extra sand/cement to build up the floor:yikes::yikes::yikes:
Told him to use sbr, he's never heard of it

Thanks for the advice guys - the tiles and grout are up, primer G holding it all together!

Been running the stove fairly intensively for a week, no probs, and the tiles look great!

I'll post some pics when I can find out how...

Picture of installed tiles (*and stove*) LOL!

Hi folks - thanks for all the advice, which I'm glad I asked for and got, cause I now have confidence my lovely new stove will keep its tiles in place!

It all looks great, and using a brown grout sets off the tiles nicely. Once the room is decorated, the whole 'ensemble' will look great.

As I hope you'll agree when you see the picture.

Thanks to all - and happy tiling!

Neil
