Hi,
I want to tile on both sides of a corner in the kitchen behind the top of my freestanding cooker. The area is 1 square meter.
The main area have a thick coat of eggshell paint which I know would not absorb any moisture from the adhesive. Is the setting process done by hydraulic action, once water is added to a dry powder adhesive? Would that be better in my case than a pre-mixed version?
The other part of that area is very porous because I had to re-plaster that section. Perhaps to prevent too much moisture absorption from the adhesive would I need to seal that section with SBR or prime it with 50% paint 50% water?
Should a normal adhesive be sufficient to tile around the top of the cooker or would it have to be a heat resistant adhesive?
Thanks for your replies.
