Tiling and plastering a bathroom

[kammyj]

Hi everyone,

I am sure this has been mentioned in other topics but i am getting a bit confused with all the different answers.
I am re-doing my bathroom. I have taken all the old tiles off and with it some of the plaster it was attached to.
I was going to re-plaster the patches using multi finish but wasn't sure how long i have to wait before i can tile on top. The thickness of the plaster i will need is about 2-3mm.
If it is more than two days is there anything else i can use to level the walls before tiling, like wickes ready mixed plaster tub white stuff....supposed to dry really quickly. Ideally i want to level the walls then start on the tiling straight away... any suggestions or have i gone mad???

thanks alot in advance.
Kam
