What are the walls made from, if they are plasterboard you are quicker ripping the whole lot off and reboarding. If plaster then you may find a lot of it comes away with the tiles so you will either have to skim up with rapidset or dot n dab plasterboard up.

White star will be fine. if you are skimming over plaster with the rapid set, you will need to prime with APD.

Hi connors, you can dot and dab plasterboard onto existing plaster, but prime with apd first. If they choose a porcelain tile White star is not the one, prime the board and use single part adhesive....Gaz

I would use dry wall adhesive to stick the boards and do a few machanical fixings thru the dabs of ahesive when there've set into the existing brick wall

The answer to the question is yes you can use rapid to dot and dab boards if primed, boards and plaster...I would do this with the regular tilers stuff on the van, drywall adhesive isn't usually one of them...using drywall adhesive needs no primer at all...
