Default Fixing large ceramic tiles to cement render - What adhesive is best?
permalink
Hi

I'm a newish DIYer and needing to fix large (300x600mm) tiles to a even cement render in a bathroom.

As the base is good and smooth, I'd thought I'd tile straight onto it. Does the surface need sealing first? Been suggested to use APD primer?

Also have got BAL White Star but not sure it's the correct adhesive. Can this be used with render rather than plaster? Will it be strong enough for large tiles? Or flexible enough?

Also what about Rapid set flexible - would this be better?

Any advice much appreciated!
