[QUOTE="Dongles, post: 981886, member: 58449"] Hi I everyone. I have just had a wall re-plastered in my bathroom, using lime plaster. The house is Victorian and that is what was there originally. I am currently waiting for the new plaster to dry but I am a bit confused about which products to use. Part of the wall is adjacent to the bath and has a shower above the bath, so the area will be a wet area. The tiles are large (25cm x 75cm - 8mm thick). Should I use a breathable adhesive such as Adhere Cal or would a standard adhesive do? I'm not sure that a cement based adhesive should be in contact with lime plaster. Also, do I need to seal the wall or is that counter productive? The way I see it is that the tiles themselves are not breathable and the grout will need to be waterproof anyway. Please tell me I am worrying too much. 😁😁 Although I am posting as a DIYer, I used to fit bathrooms for a living up until a few years ago, so I have tiled many floors and walls but never had to deal with lime plaster before. All advice gratefully received. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
