Gbta from creative impressions or gypfix from nicobond or h40 ideal from kerakoll. The latter two do not need to be primed. PVA is not suitable for any screed.

Would be well worth sitting down at the computer for an hour or two and searching the forum, there are lots of threads about gyvlon on here.

As above, PVA shouldn't be used in any tiling installation, again there are endless threads on here regarding this.

The counseling? You have come to the right place

 

[doug boardley]

did you sand off the laitence, ie the milky residue on the screed surface?

 

[prc peter]

Ok jay. I'll let you off Which one were you thinking of. I done loads. I remember the really really long one i did som time ago. Praps that was it

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

As Ajax, Gyvlon is gypsum based, so a gypsum based adhesive would work best. Gypsum and cement are worsed enemies:yikes:
