Primer

[Terry the tiler]

I use weber PR360for all my tiling and I've even used it when I've done my plastering at home it stops suction far better than pva

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)

Just 1 coat?

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

from a supply POV, i dont like cross from supplier to supplier, it goes on i know, i remember years ago, we sold 4 different adhesives, came to a head once when there was a failure, but because fixer had used this from them, that from them we couldn't agree who or what was at fault. to simplify, we now try and supply whatever primer the fixer is taking with adhesive to match.
