Always tilemaster primer as I use tilemaster adhesives 99% of the time. I have 3 bottles of primer on the van that came with some ufh kit, might be pro warm, looks like banana milk shake, I darent use it

 

[bl tiling]

I use FEB sbr from the local builders merchant half the price of other makes and Ive never had any issues with it

If u just want SBR not from a tile adhesive manufacturer u can buy 25l for £50 from eBay

Don't you just hate it when manufacturers colour their primers green or blue? Stuff splashes on everything.

So why is it that white primers don't?

Over bought on 5 litre bottles of PR360 at start of year - been using it with everything since. I think its an excellent all round primer.

It does Andy, you just can't see it on a bath or shower tray! Hahaha

I too am a plasterer and tiler.
I have always used pva to prime for plastering does tile primer really work better? I'd be interested to know. Pva on an unpainted scraped artex ceiling can often just skin up where as a primer/sbr May soak in and hold better?

If I plaster on a scraped artex ceiling I use a 3-1 pva so it soaks in, then use another coat when the first one is dry.

I use my tiling primer, normally bal sbr if I'm ever roped into messing around with the pink stuff. Just don't trust pva, although i know chemically, gypsum to gypsum it's ok (if it doesn't skin and if it stays dry)

I'm not a plasterer but when I've done a bin before in my house or for friends I always use weber PR360 which is just fancy sbr bonding
