haha just read my spelling in that last post what a load of tosh sorry guys

plasterd finish will be more hardwearing than just board, if you chip plaster its just an easy filler job but if you chip board your down to the gypsum and in my experience filling it will crack round the edges (just what i have seen on sites) plus why do you think brittish plasters are regared...

thats what i was thinking rich mabey the render was not fully cured before the fire was lit thus drying it (rather than cureing) and ruining the bond of the render. see rich you cnt leave i listen to ya, proberly would have a few fire places to re-do by now if i haddent. :wink:

same here ive seen it done loadsa times just been told you shouldnt do it by a plasterer round my way a plasterer i respect greatly. how ever as i said i thought an acrylic primer would allow him to tile onto the bonding no problems, but then again im not a tiler, so i guess final say is up to...

so with tiles that big he will have to use cement based addy so if hes tileing onto gypsum he will need an acrylic primer. definatlywould have been better with sand and cement, i dnt understand why plasterers dnt warn people bout these things they just get thier money and run

dnt get me wrong you still should not tile over bonding im just thinking outside the box of a way to save you the agro.

rich can he use an acrylic primer to help tileing over gypsum, im haveing a guess that hes useing cement based adhesive??

this could get very confuseing then at some point when someone uses the word dwang and i havent got a clue wat it is, ill have to send you a pm alastar to translate any messages i dnt know haha
