Tiling on Thistle Bonding

[Anto Holland]

I'm doing a splash back in a kitchen only 4sqm. Ripped old tiles off and walls were bad. Not allot of money in the job. I thistle bonded it yesterday. Nice and smooth, I brushed it with a wet paint brush after 10 mins. Give it a really nice solid finish.

Is this ok before I start tiling ?

Cheers

Search bonding on here, plenty of posts about why bonding is not suitable for tiling.

Good luck with it.

Ahhh okay. Seems solid and smooth and looked on Internet too. Just wanted some advice from anyone that's actually tried it.

I'll have a look then

Cheers

I've just done the same in my kitchen yesterday and I've used bonding to fill in and plumb up the wall where half of it came away.

PVA'd the walls last night so just about to give them another PVA coat before skimming the whole wall with multi-finish. Should be good to tile in a couple of weeks once its dried out.

I seem to recall that bonding is really porous so it would suck the water content from the adhesive too quickly meaning your tiles would fall off.

Here is one such thread:

If you type in 'tiling onto bonding' in the search box within the forums you'll get the previous threads on this subject...

Damn, I have to have it done before then.

Don't know what to do now...

I would be skimming it first. Undercoat plaster will be very porous.

Just wondering.....Why could he not just prime it and use a cement based addy ?

It seems good and smooth I brushed it before I finished it.
