I've been doing some more research and found out that, if I have the bonded walls skimmed, I will need to wait for up to 4 weeks for it to dry :mad2:
always best to do this before you start

I didn't ask the plasterer to use bonding ! I just asked for a finished service suitable for tiling.
did you pay him i hope not till he comes back and finishes yes not many people are any good in the building trade imo they don't even know about their own jobs let alone other trades bad when tilers know more about plastering than a plasterer feel sorry for you guys but most of the time these guys get the work because they are cheaper but not always some talk a good jobI didn't ask the plasterer to use bonding !

No, he's coming back later this week to skim the walls. I met him today at the customers house and he advised that, considering the thickness of the bonding he had applied (and the substrate beneath it) there would be no problem tiling onto the bonding. Additionally, the fact that he will have to apply a couple of coats of Unibond (PVA) to the bonding prior to skimming the wall means that the plaster skim will be sitcking to the PVA which is no different to applying a primer directly to the bonding and tiling directly onto the bonding. I really didn't have an argument to that but still insisted on he skim before tiling !
Dot and dabbing would speeded your job along...
Can I board directly onto the Carlite bonding or would I have to hack it off first ?
I do not know if any of you have come across this, but a few years back did a site had trouble with the tiling coming away with the plaster on the back of the tiles we had four bathrooms with this problem it turn out that the walls were carlite finish on render it was causing a reaction if plaster was applied to early onto the render the finish would craze so we were told that Carlite do not recommend finish on render,turned out the builder had to fight it out with Carlite in court as some of the houses had to be all replastered ,did have us worried thought it might be our problem.
