What would be a cheap tile adhesive for an undemanding application, to
new dried plaster, normal light ceramic tiles in a bathroom/shower
location?


Bal Greenstar, 15kg, £5.70 +VAT from Topps with a Trade Card.


Just to confirm - that was the ready mixed stuff (the only version I can
see on the web)?


Yes:

£20 retail, so it is best to get a trade card.

Not a disimmilar price at wallsandflooors.co.uk, which is where I'm getting
my tiles

I noticed in the Greenstar datasheet they say to roughen (with a brush) and
SBR (1:4) prime polished new plaster.

Have you ever done that?

Cheers
