Hello
after putting down latex on top of an electric heat mat do I need to then use some kind of bonding agent before I told or can I tile directly onto the latex?
Cheers all

I primed mine with SBR but not 100% sure if I needed to.
Out of interest how much self levelling compound did you put down? Did it level the floor or just flatten it ?

I have done it yet, probably I’ll do it on Saturday afternoon. I’ve got 4 bags of the stuff. I’ll let you know. So after the latex you put SBR in top? I don’t do tiling so this is all a learning event for me |

Done tiling a few times but obviously I'm no tiler ! |
