Primer on top of self leveller ?

[stevic]

Hi everyone,
Been tiling for approx 10 weeks, things are going quite well, but have a job involving self levelling compound for the first time next week.
Once the compound is down do I need to prime it or can adhesive be applied to it directly ?
If it needs priming can you experts tell me the best product to use.
Many thanks,

You can tile straight onto most makes but it's worth priming just to slow the setting down a bit in-case you need to make adjustments as you go....i use bal bond sbr and this increases the bond between substrate and adhesive.....but bal apd will be fine as well or any other impregnating primer ....

Do you folks use or recomend an uncoupling membrane on top of SLC pours?
Just curious ?? Any time I need & use a Self Leveling Compound I always use Ditra , or don`t do the job !

Any acrylic primer, 3:1 mix. Granfix do a good one, cheap as chips but bang on

Ditra matting hasn't taken of as well over here Lou,people don't like change and tend to stick to methods that work for them.There is a new wave of tile fixers coming through and they hopefully will ring the changes.....Gaz
