Fat/ grease on plaster before tiling. HELP! Howdy tilers. I’m doing a DIY tile splash back but we used the oven cooktop a bit before I’ve nearly gotten around to actually tiling it resulting in fat and grease ending up on the gyprock/plaster. Will the tiles stick to it? I have a Dunlop brand multipurpose primer for porous surfaces I thought about using on the plaster first. Will this work? Any thoughts and help appreciated.
Cheers

Clean ALL the grease off firstOriginally Posted by Username12
That’s the thing. The grease has soaked into the gyprock.
Would cleaning with trisodium phosphate work? And then prime after
it drys?

Is the plasterboard bare with no paint or primer?? If it is, there is a very good chance that the fat and grease has absorbed into the board and the best way to fix it is to replace that section with new stuff.
If it has been sealed, just clean it with sugar soap and green scotchbrite.
Never argue with idiots, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
