I really don't know Rob, just had a look at Febonds site and says nothing about anything other than plastering on to it.

I didn't think you could as plaster per m2 weight will be a lot less than sticking tiles to the wall.
What is the weight of plaster by m2? About 4/5kg max.

Only about 3.10kg m2...

I take it from the last few comments i might be better not using this stuff , i've asked Feb if it's OK to tile to but i don't think i'll get a reply till Monday so i'll carry on with something else Cheers .

thistlebond Mark? I'd be sceptical about tiling onto it.

Blue grit is PVA , mixed with grit and a blue dye , its just blue so you can see it clearly

I thought it was a cowboy film...:lol:

so im gonna go ahead and guess you can no longer purchase these ''double boards'' anymore? anyway you could have tried to pry the bathroom side of the boarding from the other side and then dabbed or as deano said serrated fresh boards of the same thickness onto the wall?

Got a reply from Feb , i asked "Can you tile on to Feb Blue grit" this is there reply.

"Thank you for your e-mail, although we have not tested Febond Blue Grit for your application we do not see any reason it cannot be used as a bonding agent for tiling."

 

[Andy Allen]

In other words....dont ring us if it fails. ...lol

You couldn't have tried to do that, once you delam paramount it loses all it's Structual integrity, you could dab another plaster board over the top of it if you can lose that inch or as do deano says,

Rip out the lot to the bone and re-board. It's enjoyable as well

You're giving the impression you've been in the building trade since yesterday, I'd be worried if you turned up on a job for me, I'm right in saying in another thread you mentioned double P.V.A ing prior to tiling, probably best if you don't give advice because someone could end up listening to you and making a real big mess
