..anyway, back to original question, no need to prime plasterboard for tiling imo

I have found in the past through my own experience that priming new plasterboard does increase the bond strength ( quite significantly ). Was using webber set + and pr360.

Thank god for that! Haha I've been priming plaster board since 1981 haha

wow, I didn't have a chance to look at the thread last night.

So from what I can fathom from the posts, I need to seal both the tiled board and the board which I will be painting, and it will be with Kitchen paint.

Is that right?

 

[Old Mod]

As far as tiling goes there's obviously two camps! Haha but personally, I'd prime plasterboard with SBR u have but it seems u can take it back too!
Las far as the painting is concerned, I'd see above, I only tile I'm afraid.
And u stil don't have a definitive answer haha sorry.

 

[markdraper]

I never knew it was going to be this difficult haha

 

[Brian the Tile]

Hahaha I have. I'm not getting drawn into one of your crazy threads Brian haha don't have time for it. Prime, don't prime who cares. Either way works.

I use Weber adhesive & it states on the bag of Weber set + to prime bare plasterboard.
I always prime plasterboard as a matter of course although as stated above there are 2 camps, those who prime & those who don't.
For years I never primed, without problem may I add, but got into the habit of doing it when I switched to Weber addys..

 

[markdraper]

So now the question is, Primer or Sealant, if I was to use something other then the BAL SBR, do I use the Gypsum Primer or Sealant?

 

[Brian the Tile]

no crazy threads from me 3_ fall,you have just answered the question yourself,so is that a crazy answer from you,and i am not getting into another debate either end of from meon this one

 

[Brian the Tile]

up to you now mark as far as i can see ,youve had good answers here ,now ask yourself if you use it or not , im out
