yea, i havent done it as its easier to use extra adhesive, if you look on my album. i done a similar thing and just bonded it out.

i was told the when the cardboard was soaked in pva, it wouldnt soak up any moisture.

Plus it was only what i was taught, not my opinion and nothing i have done, so please dont let it knock me reputation. also i have heard of tilers packing out with match stich is this ok?

Don't worry AT, no-one is knocking your reputation mate, you are only saying what you were told. You will come across so called 'experts' all the time. do what I do when they try to offer advice, give them a small piece of paper, about 20mm square and ask them to write down everything they know about tiling. They soon get the message.
