do i need to prime this before tiling ? and if so what ratio.

I would ,it's good practice

3 parts water 1 part primer

Awesome , thanks for the quick reply guys ! how long does the primer need to dry? Before it can be tiled onto?

It's also helpful to prime before you pour levelling compound.

It was poured onto hardiebacker, I was told you didn’t need to prime hardiebacker.
How long would you leave the primer before tiling onto it?

 

[Spud]

I was told that it just needs to be touch dry by the tech guys at Tilemaster

That’s what I thought, but thought I would double check. Thanks for the replies guys

I wouldn't tank or level on top of hardie without priming first. Too porous imo

@GaryTheTiler @hmtiling ffs!? is the floor gonna be ok with no primer ?
I levelled it straight onto to hardiebacker as that’s what I was advised to do?
I’m meant to be tiling it this Saturday... want to make sure it’s done right and not gonna crack/move . what are my options ?
