I just called the tech line for schluter and they do not advise the use of gypsum adhesives to stick ditra mat to gypsum screeds as they have not tested it and there for can not recommend it there recommendation was to use Ardex primer and Ardex adhesive. :smilewinkgrin:

well I was just about to do the order for £1600 worth of gear to do the job now you've made me think / worry / pull hair out again. I was just getting my head round the problem and thought it was solved.

If I was not using ditra then the gypsum adhesive would be the way to go and it would stick well to the screed and tiles

I think Schlüter are just covering their arse and have not tested long term compatibility with gypsum addy
what todo what todo

its now wonder no one feels confident with this screed

just spoke to them they don't as you say recommend using gypsum addy but did agree that they had not tested its use they could only recommend what they know is ok ardex primer and ardex addy

interestingly I rang granfix re their csa addy and their technical bloke also did not recommend csa to stick matting down and to use primmer and cement addy
