Dot & Dab travertine?

[spanky]

Can someone tell me if you can dot and dab 600 x 400 travertine tiles onto a plasterboard wall?

Thanks

Plaster board is not a good choice for any wet area period.

Gypsum is food for mold.

So if you want to create a toxic mold culture in the client's bathroom then go ahead and use that gypsum garbage.

Always, always, always use cement backer board in wet areas.

Even better in our age of advanced materials use Magnesium Oxide (MgO) board.
Lots of places you can find it now.
Use a waterproofing system as well in all wet areas.

Don't mind me while I bump some old but popular threads to see if the topic is still active in some way. Wondering if either the original idea or original issue still exists. I've done this with quite a few threads, so don't be offended if this is just jargon these days and not applicable. But I thought there might be a small chance a small percentage of the small number of threads might just be slightly applicable and the thread could get a new lease of life.

Reply to this if you've read a bit and have something to say.
There IS going to be a bigger chance when i do this, that the thread is dead. So don't worry if that's the case, just don't reply to it, and we'll all move on and let the thread drop out of view again.

Just bumping some of the older popular threads. Probably wont be current discussion these days but I just need to do it. So just ignore the thread if it's not current for you.
