    Default Tiles overweight for skim plaster ( 1/2 painted)

    I am doing an en-suite, 10mm thick 600x300 ceramic tiles onto partly painted very flat skim plaster on solid walls. Tiles + adh = 30kg psm
    Is it ok to mechanically fix 6mm marmox to walls. Part of it will be tanked with Mapeigum.
