Hi, I'm after a bit of advice as can quite find the answer to my issue.
I'm redoing the fireplace and will be tiling the chamber with appropriate stone tiles.
It was originally boarded with vermiculite ribbed board but that warped soon after being fitted. I have discovered that in order to get everything in the right position I am going to have to add around an inch extra to one of the walls as the board was packed out from the wall to fit it. The wall is the original brick.
My question is, what is the best mix to put on the wall to achieve the reduction in size & be ready to tile on to achieve best results. I've checked the internet and seen many different opinions but they all revolve around the finished surface, not one to be tiled over.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
