Hi, not done much tiling b4. I have got to tile on to new plaster, does this need any preping (sealing with sbr?) or anything else. I now it depends on the adhesive, not sure at the moment what one it will be.

Just follow the adhesive manafacturers advice. If it says to prime with a specific product you should use that or else it may invalidate the guarantee etc.

There are even some tile adhesives that recommend you PVA the wall first :shock:

thanks for that. ended up phoning mapei, they said that the adhesive I had didn't need any priming. mapestik found it to be a very good adhesive.
