Should be pretreated with (BG head) Thistle Bond-it for adhesion. Pretty pointless skimming onto MR board as you are introducing gypsum to a moisture resistant material. I’ve seen a lot of failures, mainly above the shower due to the steam. Another thing to consider is the weight of the tiles which can pull the plaster away from the boards.

Could you please remind us all of the retail cost of thistle bond it?

that shouldn't be an issue for a site slag though should it?

If someones moaning about the cost of materials to do the job correctly you are either not pricing up right or you need to work for better clientele and fk the HMO's off in Bradford.

lol, really? Now come on matey!
We all know customer pays materials plus 20% :coffe:

I’m talking about the tight arse cowboy builders out there, no way are they using thistle bond it @£95 a tub. No matter the colour of the boards they’re all getting skimmed raw dog style.
