    Default To prime or not to prime...

    Hi Guys

    Just boarded out bathroom with Gyproc.Now going to tank walls round shower enclosure then tile walls and floor.The floor is tongue & groove with no bounce and I am going to fit 6mm Hardibacker. Do I need to prime walls before and after I apply tanking paint?Do I need to prime Hardibacker before I tile floor?

    Cheers

    1 : It will say on the tanking paste whether to prime etc..

    2 : No priming required after tanking.

    3 : Do not prime hardibacker... if dusty whilst working then wipe over with a damp sponge.
