Hi, I've been reading around and asking questions elsewhere and I'm about to start preping my surfaces for tiling (tho haven't settled on the tiles yet), I'm just not certain about something.
Here is a list of the walls...
I'm looking at using Mapei products, possibly Keraquick and also Mapegum (for my tanking), but when it comes to priming I want to make sure I don't bugger it so I asked Mapei about each of these walls.
Basically they told me:
Does this seem correct?
Thing is I'm sure I've read somewhere on here that Hardi doesn't need priming if a cement based adhesive is being used ?
Perhaps I shouldn't question the manufacturer, but thought I should ask here just to be sure.
Thanks,
Stu.
Here is a list of the walls...
- Main wall has been plasterboarded completely with 12mm.
- A narrow wall, mix of sound plaster/render and plasterboard patched on (where the loose plaster was removed)
- Opposite main wall, lined with Hardibacker (will have the shower/bath against it)

Basically they told me:
- Prime the plaster with 1:1 primer g + water
- Backer boards need priming with 1:2 primer G + water but make it a thin coat
- Don't prime the bare plasterboard
Does this seem correct?
