Sbr primar for bathroom walls help

[Dan Cartwright]

hi iv used jewsons sbr admixture to prim my bathroom walls before I tile them, it says it is a good all round primar, can anyone let me know if this will be ok before I start tiling. I’ve attached a picture of the sbr I have used any help would be grateful thanks

Morning,
That will be fine, as long as your using a powdered adhesive and not a paste.

 

[Dan Cartwright]

It’s the adhesive that you mix up yourself

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Careful on the mix ratio : water.

 

[Dan Cartwright]

I didn’t water it down just put it on straight out the bottle is that ok

 

[Dumbo]

Probably not it is likely sat on the surface and you could peel it of insheets

 

[Qwerty]

Get peeling! You now run the risk of the bond of the adhesive to the substrate being compromised

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Put some Gaffa tape on it, press it on hard. Pull off sharply - what happens?
Should be minimum 1:1 for priming ( I use it 1:3). It’s just to stop the moisture sucking out too quickly and the surface should still be able to breathe.

 

[Dan Cartwright]

Thanks for the reply’s iv just found this out from the tile centres, good job I checked, I had a feeling it was wrong that’s why I was questioning it, at least il know for next time

 

[Dan Cartwright]

Ha ha just started peeling going to be a long night

 

[Tile seller]

Oh hell, what an awful job.

 

[Dan Cartwright]

Nightmare, any ideas what the best way is to get this primar off

Could try a decorators 75mm filling knife which very flexible and has a very thin blade, probably need to go to a decorating centre rather than a diy depot

Hi mr tile seller
Why wouldn't I prime the walls if I was using ready mix ?

 

[Tile seller]

Most pastes are self priming so its not needed.
Also, the sbr layer will make it harder for the paste to dry out.

I know what you're saying I know of some pastes that are self priming ardex d20 I think it is springs to mind but really are you telling me that as you put a paste on the wall it instantly seals the wall to stop any moisture in the paste prematurely drying into the background .

Adhesive powder or ready mix needs to cure not dry to optimise adhesion.

Ready mixed (dispersion) adhesive relies on drying to set, not a chemical reaction like cement adhesive

 

[Tile seller]

I'm not suggesting that the pastes seal a porus substrate,rather that they don't necessarily need it sealed.
Pastes are fairly slow to dry and a porus substrate to help aid the process would seem to me, to be a good thing.

Some firey debates on here tonight

 

[PaulDtiler]

Correctly diluted the primer won't prevent adhesive setting
