Too honest or stupid?

Was it skim onto plasterboard or a float and set plaster

Hi Whitebeam,

It was a block wall with plaster on. Is that float and set?

As whitbeam says, was it skimmed or float and set?

Skimmed walls will very rarely need 4 weeks to dry out where as float and set could (sometimes even more)

Depending on how the walls were plastered would determine wether you or the project manager were right.



But if the walls were still damp then no, it shouldn't be tiled.

Don't do anything you are not comfortable about and if you are unsure then check it out before commiting yourself.

Good luck

Hi Colour,

It was a plastered block wall, even the builder said the plaster still felt damp.

Green Screed is an adhesive that you can use on screeds that are not fully dry.

Hi Colour,

It used to be about 4-6 weeks for a float and set to dry out, thats why dry linning is used for fast track work......

You was right
