Help

My walls were recently plastered and I have a friend coming to help me tile in the morning.

I bought weber pr360 to prime the walls. Diluted it down to the correct 3to1 ratio. But now it's dry it seems to peel off far too easily. I'm worried aboit putting tiles on the wall in case they come down.

I cleaned the walls first with a damp cloth.

I really havnt got a clue what's wrong

If anyone can offer advise

Hi there. Yes the plaster was definitely dry.
I have been doing some research and the only thing it can be is that the plasterer has over polished the plaster

 

The wet walls are tanked and the rest of the bathroom has the pr360 on it. I definitely can't tile tomorrow it seems and will have to strip everything back and sand it like you say.

Pva was used in the plastering but only on the bond coat I believe. There was definitely none on the surface

Thanks for your quick replies

 

I tried the duct tape test.... massive failure

 

Some of the bits have been dry for at least that long. And the weber stuff says it sets between 1 to 5 hours

 

I sanded a test area last night and primed. This morning it is still not passing the tape test. It is definitely better but still not right.

 

I tred weber but they won't be open now till tuesday

 

Onto the thistle multi finish?

 

When you peel anything off the wall is dry and dusty

 

Hi, I bit the bullet and had a terrible and dusty day of wire brushing and sanding to remove what i assume was a over polished surface.

I beleive that to be the issue as it was fresh plaster and it was feeling off like when you put pva on your hands as a kid.

I have the ceiling to do now... mist coat etc, do I need to sand this too? (I get this is away from tiling now)
