Product Information

Full details

This STS NoMorePly Tilers Primer is designed for professional tilers and DIY enthusiasts preparing NoMorePly boards for tiling. Its primary benefit is significantly improving tile adhesive bonding strength and providing essential moisture protection. A caveat to consider is its specific formulation for NoMorePly boards, which may not be optimal for other substrates. This 1-litre primer offers a high-grade, waterproof sealing solution that enhances installation durability and insulation value, particularly in wet environments and underfloor heating systems.

FAQs

Can I use this primer on other types of backer boards?

This primer is specifically formulated for NoMorePly boards. While it may adhere to other rigid substrates, its performance and benefits are optimized for NoMorePly. Always test in an inconspicuous area if considering use on alternative boards.

How long does the primer take to dry?

Drying times can vary based on environmental conditions like temperature and humidity. Typically, it requires a few hours to dry to a touch-dry state. Always refer to the product's packaging for specific drying time recommendations.

Is this primer sufficient for a constantly wet shower floor?

The primer provides excellent moisture resistance. However, for areas of constant water immersion, additional waterproofing membranes may be required as per local building regulations and best practices.

What is the coverage rate of the 1-litre pack?

One 1-litre pack of the STS NoMorePly Tilers Primer covers approximately 40 square meters, depending on the porosity and texture of the substrate.

Can I apply tile adhesive immediately after priming?

No, the primer must be allowed to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions before applying tile adhesive to ensure proper bonding.

What is the shelf life of the primer?

Please refer to the product packaging for the specific expiry date. Stored correctly in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, it typically has a shelf life of one to two years.

Troubleshooting

Primer not drying properly

Ensure the application is not too thick and that environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) are within the recommended range. Avoid applying in damp or very cold conditions.

Poor adhesive bonding after application

Verify that the primer was fully dry before tiling. Ensure the correct type of tile adhesive recommended for the specific tiles and the NoMorePly board is used. Check that the NoMorePly board surface was adequately prepared (clean and dry).

Uneven coverage or brush marks visible

Apply the primer evenly with a consistent technique using a quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the product. Allow for adequate drying time between coats if a second coat is deemed necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
