[QUOTE="DIY Rich, post: 847802"] Hi, I have read several threads, but am still unsure of what to do with my bathroom. I have 400mm x 400mm X 9mm porcelain tiles to use on my bathroom walls. The walls are bare brick, but uneven so I am going to batten them and screw boards onto this. I haven't bought the boards yet, and was thinking of buying moisture resistant boards for this (they seem a lot cheaper than backing boards) but am undecided. If I use these boards, I can't decide whether or not I need to prime them prior to tiling from the forums because it seems that opinions differ??? I have bought mapei flexible tile adhesive for the job which looks like good stuff at £30 for 20kg bag in B&Q. I don't know what size notched trowel I should use for these tiles, bearing in mind that the boards will be nice and flat??? I am now wondering about the drying issues talked about on the forums with such a big tile, and whether this will be an issue for me? I think that the differing forums have confused me a bit, so am hoping for some good comprehensive advice if possible. Many thanks, Rich [/QUOTE]
