    Default Mapei Keraquick - is this ok for plasterboard?

    I have three different types of wall that I need to tile. One is a bog standard plastered wall. The second is a cement based board (aquapanel) and the third is just good old plasterboard. I want to keep things simple and use Mapei keraquick to fix tiles to all of these walls but I am not sure if I can do this with the plasterboard wall? Also, its not clear what the preparation is for the cement based board?

    So my questions are:

    1. Can I use keraquick for all three wall types?
    2. Is it primer G for preparation on all these surfaces?

    Gents,

    Thanks for your help.

    The tiles (the the first of two jobs in the same room) are cut down floor tiles to be used as a skirting board around low part of the walls. These cut-down tiles measure 300mm x 100mm and are 9mm thick.

    For the second job tiling in the shower area the tiles are 250mm x 400mm and are 8mm thick. Fortunately the shower area does not have and plasterboard wall (two plaster and one cement board wall).

    Steve
