best product for plastered wall - TilersForums.com

[Perfect Tiling]

Evening. I'm currently working in a new house that has a curved shower wall which consists of concrete blocks that have recently been bond coated and skimmed. I used mapie shower waterproofing kit....applied the primer and 2 coats of the tanking over 3 days to allow drying. however....the tanking came off in a skin with the primer. First thoughts are that the plaster was still damp....I'd left it 2 weeks from final skim coat. Could this be the case? Is there a better product to use on plastered walls. I usually use mapie aqua defence straight onto plasterboard...it comes with no primer and sticks like s*$t to a shovel. Much appreciated.

Some say to water down the first coat so it get a better bond to the plaster, much like mist coating before emulsioning

Has the skimming been over polished , might need a light sanding first , then the primer wont skin. Also dont put neat pr360 as it will skin. Water down.

aquadefence does not work if there are still moisture residues, better to use mapelastic which is also breathable.
