Sigh... short term gain, long term pain... it's the curse of impatience...

I'm sure if the tiler is quick he can press the tiles into the wet plaster and save money on addy!

Hi All,
I am just browsing-over from electricians forum, what sort of time should be left before tiling a newly plastered wall and what sort of preperation would be needed.

No one told me this!:smilewinkgrin:

New plaster should be 3 weeks old and the preparation normally includes taking it all off and starting again:mad2:

If I was to tile all my friends’ kitchens I would have had to tile 2 kitchens :lol:

nobody wants to wait more than two weeks to get anything done

Join a queue with the NHS, wait for a Tax rebate, get me to do a Victorian floor.
But your right we are in a culture of tomorrow.

And there was me sitting patiently for my screed to dry. I would have thought it obvious even to someone not in the profession that plaster takes longer than a weekend to dry.

to be fair,if its drylined,it would be dry in a day or two,if the heating is on,but if its in the house im just doing at the mo,which we have wet plastered,the walls are still wet i did 2 weeks ago
