plasterboard question.

[cass]

Ie external corners, do any of you guys strengthen external corners with fast set or anything never done this myself but wondering if anyone else does.

 

[Stef]

I only prime the exposed gypsum edges on plasterboard.

What addy you using though Doug?

If I use tubbed then I don't prime, it is mainly Weber set plus I use now so that's why I prime the boards.

Not necessary to prime plasterboard , but It can't do any harm either so its just your preference !

I always use "tapered" PB....and I scrim and fill with rapid (just because it removes the taper)......but I cant think of a time I have "primed" plasterboard.......

Question for plasterboard primers whats your reason ?

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Just a couple of points while reading this thread -
1) check the weights of large format tiles prior to fixing on plasterboard ( bare and skimmed)
2) do not use a tubbed dispersion adhesive on large format porcelain tiles.

Or any size pocelain tiles

that question (1) never arises from a client IMO John..........so I have added it as "ADVICE" on the "about" page of my new website........

oh and if you dont know....(the general public and not you John!)

20kg skimmed

32kg unskimmed!

so save yourself some money and DONT PLASTER WALLS THAT NEED TO BE TILED!!!!!

oh.....and I avoid tubbed like the plauge!!!....... hheeheheee

thanks mate......and a great point well presented!

all the best

I did a bathroom a couple of weeks back Stef, and the client changed the towel rails (after I'd tiled and cored the holes) the plumber needed to get into the studs to alter the pipes, the tiles had been stuck with set plus less than 24 hours earlier and ripped the plasterboard to pieces getting them off, all that was left was the back paper, all the gypsum and front paper was all still attached to the tile. Save yourself a few quid and don't prime bare PB's.
