to prime or not to prime
Hi all.
Got the Mapei Shower Waterproofing kit. Going to be waterproofing moisture resistant plasterboards around a bath.
The kit says to "prime all porous substrates and gypsum plaster with the enclosed primer"
So I was wondering, do I just need to prime where I've filled and taped the joints in the boards, or should I give the whole surface of the board a coat of primer?
TIA
So much info, so little time.

won't do any harm to do the lot, it'll only take minutes
although it will take longer to dry on WRP

Re: to prime or not to prime
Cheers doug. Thought I'd better check. Should I also be priming the MRB's that aren't being tanked? I'm going to be using Mapei P9 adhesive.
So much info, so little time.

Re: to prime or not to prime
Priming won't hurt and can have advantages...cleaning off of excess adhesive for one!
