Or remove as much loose stuff as possible then prime with an epoxy primer.

Hi John

Wire brush the bitumen, clean and prime with SBR.
I would use any s2 type adhesive.
The elastic polymer in it acts as an adhesion enhancer enabling it to stick better to the bitumen.

Works for me. Never had any problems doing it this way

new to this ( clean and prime with sbr ! ) whats this sbr :hurray:

SBR Bonding/Admix agent

(Do not be tempted to use cheaper PVA which moisture breaks down)

SBR Bond is a latex based - Highly suited for priming areas before tiling

Water resistant bonding/priming agent and admixture for use in areas subject to humidity, dampness and continuous water contact

Improves water resistance of cement mixtures by forming a reinforcing polymer that increases long term durability and flexibility of the mix on renderings and floor screeds adhesive etc.

Can be diluted up to 3:1 with water - follow instuction on bottle
