I did not find much in the search results about whether a bitumen wall can be tiled.
In my bathroom, I waterproofed an ordinary new-plasterboard wall with this dampproof liquid, "Bostik-Flexible-Liquid-Damp-Proof-Membrane-2". On it im planning to use "Mapei Floor & Wall Tile Adhesive Grey 20kg" to fix 30x30cm ceramic tiles.
After discovering in a post that bitumen can not be tiled over. i checked the bostik contents, and found it was 'bitumen and rubber latex aqueous dispersion', according the data sheet tds00461.pdf.
my questions:
1. can i tile over the bitumen without doing anything else to it?
2. or do i need to seal/ prime the bitumen before tiling? and what with?
3. would it just be easier to get new plasterboard [ my local b. merchant didnt have the waterproof type, so that is why i decided to waterproof the normal-type plasterboard]
Thanks
