Homelux matting adhesive advice

[Dan 6457]

Hi there,

I have been reading through this forum over the past few weeks, very helpful info on here. I just wanted to confirm that I have chosen the right products for my job.

I am fitting homelux waterproof matting to walls around my bath before tiling. One wall is brick which is rendered and skimmed with plaster, the other is a stud wall which is plasterboarded then also skimmed with plaster. I know ideally it would have backerboards and tile straght to that but I have to work with what I've got.

I have come to the conclusion that I need to prime the plaster with BAL SBR Bond, and then stick the matting up with BAL CTF4. Then stick the tiles up with CTF4 as well.

Have I got this right?

Cheers!

CTF4 is a slow setting adhesive, nothing wrong with that but, I wouldn't advise tiling on it until it has set, which will be 16 hours. Use a rapid set for the membrane to allow you to tile within an hour or so.

Also bal APD is the better option for priming plaster.

Thanks for the replys.

Time is no problem so I will stick with the ctf4 in that case.

What is the reason for using APD over SBR?

Many thanks.
