    Skim over internal render??

    It will be part tiled (only around wet areas). The tiles are likely to be ceramic 20cm x 10cm x0.8cm. I'm thinking to use 'norcros prime bond' straight over the render for the tiled areas - then to tile over that. And to use 'thistle bonding coat' followed by 2 layers of multifinish everywhere...

    Skim over internal render??

    Thank you for your advice! The render is at least 2 years old and is very dry. Would thistle bonding coat do the job before the multi? Can I dot and dab cement board onto render for the tiles areas? Thanks again!

There appears to be a keyed render behind this against the external walls (the bathroom is on an extension). I'll be removing the tiles and am hoping to skim over the render. Is it possible to skim over the...

    Skim over internal render?

    Hi all, My bathroom wall is currently tiled with what appears to be a keyed render behind (there is some sort of a grey thin coat inbetween the render and the time adhesive). I want to remove the tiles and skim over the render. Is this possible? If so, do I need to use a bonding agent or can I...
