I want to clad a 12.5mm rhinoboard wall with sandstone 'tiles'.
I bought the cladding from Tile Africa and was promptly sold a bonding agent and tile cement as well. Their advice is to paint the drywall with a wood sealent, then make a slurry with the bonding liquid and cement, paint that on. Once dry, start tiling.
The sealent is to prevent the cement from wetting the rhinoboard and making it collaps.
All of this sound just too complicated and a lot of trouble. If I get anything wrong the whole lot can litterally come tumbling down....
Anyway, does anyone know of a better way of tiling onto rhinoboard? Some guy in Builder's Warehouse said I can use a tiling glue, no surface prep required. Frankly I don't want to take any of Builder's personnel's advice without checking because I did that once before and learnt a lesson...
Thanks in advance for your advice.
