![]() It doesn't have to be the absolute cheapest way to do it, it must be good looking and lasting also, but just for not too much.Īlex, what I would likely do in this situation is skim coat the faces of these porous block with a fairly wet mixture of thinset or medium bed mortar, smoothing it out somewhat with the trowel and then allowing it to firm up and lose some moisture while it cured. To finish a bead of silicone on the edges. 20min job, €30 material and that's all there is to it. I would go for a strip of white plastic/resin board/acrylic that I would bend and glue, some scraps glued to the tiles and some bricks as dead weight to keep the strip in place until the glue sets.

Would perhaps a primer you use on plaster board before applying latex paint work? I've got that laying around. It sucks I can't buy at good professional shops. Yeah, I am aware of the burning effect, I was hoping that maybe making the ytong soaking wet before applying a very diluted priming layer of grout might help? Is a special primer absolutely necessary? I have already looked at it, but with all these darn DIY stores around here finding a suitable primer is a task by itself.

You have to use a special primer or a special glue. The Ytong is to porosive, it "sucks" the water to fast from your grout and it will crumble. Very important to know when using Ytong is that regular cement based grout or tile glue will "burn". ![]() ![]() The montagekit (MS-polymer glue) will do the job just fine. Well if you can cut them with a normal saw I say go for it.There is a special glue for those blocks but I am not sure if it would stick to tile.Perhaps a decent tile cement would do it.I have done this before with those plaster blocks I mentioned.I just made several small widths to follow the curve and then mosaic on top - there is a special plaster for them.I only mentioned Wedi cos I recently started using it and it's sooo easy and made for it - but costly.
