Planning to build a garage using Leca that will be partially blasted below ground. The exterior will therefore be Isodrän (or similar) and plastered base/around the door, etc.
The inside of the garage will be tiled.
Is it enough to apply KC mortar (I believe it was called 0-2mm) with something like a steel trowel on both the inside and outside as port sealing? I did this on my previous foundation and used the smooth side of a steel notched trowel for laying tiles and found it quick and efficient.
Or does the base need to be treated differently for the base to be later stocked, or is the above sufficient as a base treatment?

Slurry leca below ground with Cementbruk A.
Okay, how to treat leca on the inside of a garage that will later be tiled, should it be plastered there too?
I am sure that tiles set in adhesive stick well enough directly on Leca, but the problem is often that a mortared Leca wall is not completely smooth since all blocks do not align exactly with each other. Then you need to straighten the wall, for example, by plastering it. If the wall is straight enough to tile directly, I would still plaster or scrape the wall with mortar first.
