walshie 2,804 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I've just plastered a wall. Not done a bad job if i say so myself. How long does it take to dry enough for me to tile it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,936 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I`d wait until it`s all fell back off the wall and a plasterer redoes it for you before tiling bud 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiercel 6,986 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Depends what the backing of the wall is, plasterboard will dry quicker than stone. give it two weeks and you should be safe. TC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,589 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Did you just skim over the existing plaster? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 No. About 1/2" all over to hide the brickwork Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ArchieHood 3,692 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Did you Unibond the bricks first? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Did you Unibond the bricks first? Yes I did. I'm not an amateur! Plus I read to do that this morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slip lead 862 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Could of stuck aqua board to the brickwork and tiled straight onto the boards, makes for quicker/cheaper job, if walls are bad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
