What tiles are you fixing
"Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes"
plain white 248mmx328mmx 8mm-9mm



I take you using powdered addy, prime the walls and areas that will need building up....
Use some rapid addy to build the holes up IMO
"Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes"
sorry whitebeam didnt explain very good, wall 4m2 top half fine, 1.5m2 skim come off and 0.5m2 down to blockwork



Ok, whats the backing where the skim has come off, sand/cement or a gypsum backing
"Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes"
bondcoat



Could try the wickes one coat stuff for the deep and shallow areas but make sure on the bonding it has a pva to adhere to the surface.

white ceramics 248x328 and will be tanking, how long do you have to leave it to dry



Not a product I use, it should harden in 24 hours or less but leave it a week to dry out at least, what tanking are you using
"Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes"
mmm, not sure on the tanking but prep wall tomoz and hopefully tank mon, either bal or homelux, read dave used wickes onecoat and think he said dry in 2 hrs but cant find thread



It may set in 2 hours but will need longer for it to dry out

will the bal quickset render stick to the bonding coat



You will need to prime the bonding before using the bal render, the 2 materials could separate because of the powdery surface of the bonding
"Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes"
which primer apd or pva for bonding coat and yes i know the difference, but this is bondcoat
