Pva Versus Primers | Always Use A Primer When Tiling, And Not Pva

[Sean SML Tiling]

Nothing I was just curious. I only use webber primers not cheap stuff.

PR360 is a good primer..

P.V.A. Versus Primers

Tbh we had a trade day last year with Weber and they demo'd this......you could see the penny drop in some of the "fixers" eyes....

its all about education.......think this is why I believe that tilers should use the forums to get as much information as possible.

 

[Mr T]

yes mate I know one way or another even when I know most about tiling this site will still be handy in many ways.

I spoke to a tiler of 30 years plus and he still uses pva....:ban:

Oh the arguements i have had (especially with no-it-all-builders) about the use of PVA!! Trouble is a lot of these DIY programmes still advise the use of PVA as a sealer.

The pva from b and q even says on the bottle ideal for prep for tiling 🙁

I think all the PVA Bottles from any manufacturer say the same.... it doesn't help when places like Niccobond have there primmers labelled as PVA (big red letters) even though it is not a PVA. how then are we supposed to get this through to someone when this type of thing is going on? Does my bloody head in, i seem to get this down here every other day with someone or other

I always explain the difference in pva and primer to someone questioning it.. The usual pva doesn't soak into the substrate and Sellotape doesn't stick to paint scenario normally suffices
