Hi,
I've had a quick search of existing topics but not really found what i'm after.
I am in the process of refitting our bathroom, including knocking down the wall between existing bathroom & toilet to make one room.
The existing walls are blockwork (like breeze blocks, but thinner), as was the wall i removed.
I have put up a stud wall to effectively block up the redundant door to the loo.
I plan to tile all of the bathroom walls and, having done it before, know what i'm doing with tiling onto the existing plaster/blockwork.
What i don't know is about tiling onto the new stud wall.
From what i've read i don't need to skim it, but do i need to prep it in any other way, eg primer or similar?
Also, i've read about the no-no's of using PVA as a bonding agent, but the PVA i saw in B&Q said it was ok to use as a bonding agent for tiling!?!?
It was Evostick i think.
The wall in question is 950mm wide by 2370mm tall and is in the opposite corner to the bath/shower (about 2.5 mtrs away).
Any advice much appreciated
Dave
