Chipboard, Hardie backer primer!

[Dave]

As Dave says, it doesn't even need to be a flexi for fixing Hardie.
I always use a flexi for wooden substrates as it sits better in me head.

Me too. 🙂

Thanks guys for the help, sorry for a stupid question BUT

When u mean skinned do you mean like a skin on top? Or dried in?

Primer g says on instructions tile when completely dry?!

 

[Old Mod]

Yeah they mean like a skin on top that hasn't been absorbed by the substrate, in this case your chipboard.

Mine was well soaked in and dry so hopefully that's OK! Thanks chaps

On the layout side of things its a small ensuite I'm tiling less than two square metres. Too keep my 330 square tiles centralised down the length of the room I'm left with one full tile and one 281 cut either side. In the door jam tho the door closes right at the other end of it so I need to tile into it which means ill have a 106 cut as I walk in made smaller looking by the finishing trim when its fitted. I think this will look OK but I know you guys hate small cuts! What do u think?

Only other way I can think is to knock the floor off centre to make a bigger cut from the doorway

This kind of shows what I mean!

I'm not really following your description.
However as a general rule of thumb I take the room as a whole and sometimes a comprise is inevitable. The only time I don't follow that rule is because of a specific request from the client or whoever is in control of the finishes. I also generally run the setting out plan past them too, just to be sure everybody's happy. Then it's not my fault haha

The centre line goes thru the waste pipe so I'm using it to plan my layout. I can have it equal on each side up till the doorway where to keep my equal cuts I'm left with the small cuts 10 cm to meet up with the wooden floor from the bedroom. Does this make sense?
