Hi. I'm going to get started tiling in my en-suite soon but just wanted to check my adhesive choice with you before I buy.
The tiles are 300x600x9 ceramic and the walls are unskimmed plasterboard in the dry areas, and aquapanel with impey waterguard tanking membrane over in the shower area.
I've gathered from browsing this forum that I need to use single part flexible cement based adhesive so thought I'd get Mapei Mapeker Rapid Set Flex Tile Adhesive (Grey) from Screwfix as it seems pretty good value. I'd intended using a 10mm notched trowel and back buttering the tiles too. Am I on the right track?
Can you also tell me if I need to use any primer on the bare plasterboard too?
Many thanks
Steve
