How is it any quicker than drywall addy?

You'd have to prime the back of the plasterboard with acrylic for a kick off.

Yes you do.
The rapid set is cement based, so the board has to be sealed with acrylic to reduce any chance of a reaction between that and the gypsum, just like you need to seal the front when you tile with cement based addy.

It is also at least 3 times the price, takes longer to go off, and is harder to use than dri-wall addy is.

I honestly can't see a single benefit from using that over dri-wall.

Even when using a cement based adhesive to fix a large format porc' or heavy travertine?

Chances are that it'll be fine, but why risk it for a few minutes and a couple of pounds?


You should look at using Nicobond Unique when tiling onto plaster, or plasterboard. It's gypsum based, so no need to worry about any reactions.
It also sets full in 1 hour.
