    Default powder based filler on wall

    I went to see a job today to tile a splashback. One of the walls (1.5m2) has been completely 'plastered' with a rapid drying powdered filler rather than plaster!! (Toupret Expert TX110, the bag had been left behind).
    I wondered if anyone else had ever come across this. It seems stable and wondered if it would be ok to just prime it and treat it as a plastered wall?
    The ceramic tiles are light wieght (75mm x 150mm 9mm) but I'll have to use a cement based ady as the backs are recessed.
    Cheers
