[QUOTE="Leatherface, post: 41603"] Sorry chaps, but I do a lot of natural stone nowadays. I agree that for many standard ceramic tiles, not much sanding required. BUT I would never risk sticking 600 x 400 Trav or marble tiles onto an emulsion painted wall. TOO HEAVY !!! I know you have all seen the table of weights for plaster, plasterboard, plywood etc etc.... Would like to hear anyone come up with the weights acceptable for emulsion paint ??? If you phone the technical dept for most adhesive manufacturer, they would almost always advise you to "mechanically abrade" the paint prior to tiling. Not being a " textbook arsehole" here - just like to do the job so there can be no comebacks in the future !! All my work is on recommend - want to keep it that way !! [/QUOTE]
