years ago adhesive manufactures used to tell you to prime ply but we wasn't always using rapid set as the rapid drys faster it doesn't let so much water into the ply now days they tell you to use rapid but don't prime it on the side you are going to tile :incazzato:

Just to follow up on this. I called BAL this moring just to see what they said not that I was worried about using the SBR on the ply. Anyway we know why to prime the underside and the sides, the reason they say not to prime the top side is just that it's not necessary, the addy bonds to ply with no probs without a primer. But it's fine to use SBR as a primer 4/1 with water on ply if you want but generally it's not needed. In my case the ply was old a bit dusty some spots of cement and stuff etc so they said it was a good idea, so just a precaution really but worth doing for the sake of ten minutes and a tenner!

I always prime just as a precaution. I know with a lot of flexi rapidset its not necessary as they are able to bond without being primed, however I just do it as part of the job to be on the safe side. Just make sure its dry before applying any adhesive onto it
