Hi M8, it’s been up a while & weve already been there; this is the second thread on this one. We didn’t get anywhere with the original cos the OP pulled it with a departing “merry Christmas” & although I’ve stuck with it, we haven’t done much better this time either; here’s a link; //www.diynot.com/forums/tiling/tiling-on-a-skim-devil-float-it.303358/#2216933

Sorry for the delay, I was away for the week.

The plastering was done at the end of october, so I don't think moisture is the issue. I started a new thread for this topic as the other was titled for a different question and I didn't want to wander off topic.

Anyway, I spoke with bal tech help again and was told that ape will skin to a certain extent. With this information I put a tile up, left it a week and tried to remove it. To say it was stuck fast is an understatement. As Richard predicted, wrestling it off the wall even removed a small patch of skim - this was actually very good news.

So, a big lesson learnt - As Richard said, I should have considered the system as a whole.
