Discuss Pva Versus Primers | Always Use A Primer When Tiling, And Not Pva in the British & UK Tiling Forum area at TilersForums.com.
I've removed a laminate floor at my house as it was always spreading at a certain joint and im sick of "jump & sliding" it back together. Dont tell me you dont know the jump and slide "move" cos i know you do!!
here's a question for you all...
I've removed a laminate floor at my house as it was always spreading at a certain joint and im sick of "jump & sliding" it back together. Dont tell me you dont know the jump and slide "move" cos i know you do!!
anyway, the reason it kept popping at that certain part was down to the gargantuan drop the bitchumen/ashphalt floor suffers at that point. I intended to self level and tile, but after ringing BAL technical this afternoon to find out the best primer (not PVA) to use on Bitchumen, only to be told they dont recommend doing anything with bitchumen other than removing it completely.
Removal is not an option as this was poured in and floated in when i bought the house (built circu 1927) to act as a damp proof barrier. Its not a thin layer originally used to fix vinyl tiles etc, im sure you will all know what i mean?
So whats my options here? I've been and bought BAL Bond but im at pains to just go ahead and use it without asking first. I intend to tile the floor in the end by the way.
Blimey, i am the untrained but have used PVA at home and wont use again - i do have a litre of tilers primer unopened which i thought was just rebranded pva !!
Now I have a garage floor to sort out it has never been treated painted sealed primed PVA'd ect. and went out and bought a big tub of pva to put on to "seal?" it whilst i decide weather to use an epoxy type paint or standard garage floor paint - one manufacturer of the epoxy says not to pva and now i can see why ! ....but would Palace tilers primer (the 1l unopened bottle) be a suitable product to put down as a temp fix and then paint at a later date?
Sorry if painting is offtopic on a tiling forum
we used 4 parts water to 1 part unibondWhat made you apply pva to render, did you thin it out or put it on neat
do we then prime it when dry? Do we just prime the other walls on top of the unibond or will that then be a case of the adhesive just sticking to the primer which is sticking to the unibond! Never knew tiling was so complicated perhaps someone should introduce an "idiots guide" for people like me!Quite thin so may have soaked in, could (in the shower area) apply hot water and using a scrubbing brush on the surface and clean water to remove any residue
