Hi all,
I have a 18mm plywood subfloor screwed onto joists in my first floor bathroom. My plan is to fix 6mm Hardiebacker to the plywood, and then tile onto the hardie
What I am struggling with is finding a suitable adhesive for fixing the hardie, which I will then screw down too
Guys in ToppsTiles recommende their Rapid Set Flexible S1, but looking at the data sheet it says to overlay ply with cememnt board first (which is what I'm doing but need to use adhesive on the cement board!!)
I've also had the recommendation to prime the ply surface that will take the adhesive with an acrylic primer but lots of comflicting stuff online. I'll prime the underneath and sides of the ply with SBR
Can I get a sane suggestion for adhesive to use to fix the hardieboard and whether to prime the top of the ply?
Thanks
