Hi Folks,
I have a bricked up doorway in a bathroom that I want to eventually tile over. The travertine bricks were standing proud but some work with a cold chisel took care of that.
After doing lots of reading here I'm wondering how far out this idea is.
1st coat 4-1 sharp sand - cement and plasticizer about 12mm thick
second coat 5-1 about 5mm thick.
Is this about right? I am going to give the travertine bricks a good drenching coz they look like they are going to soak up lots of water.
Anythoughts? How long between coats? Exactly how wet do I get them?
Any input appreciated
cheers
