    Tiling onto waterproof plasterboard

    The original plasterboard had water penetration, hence the reason for replacing with aquapanel. Never thought of tanking normal plasterboard! I will read up on that for future reference. Cheers GCOL :)

    Thanks for your reply ch427. I put some Redex in the petrol last Saturday and it seems to be going Ok now. (Keeping my fingers crossed). Hopefully it was just a dirty injector. The last time I added a STP additive which didn't seem to do anything. :roll:
