Spackle before tiling

[bandy76]

Currently building a new kitchen and have just finished drywalling everywhere, where it needs to be tiled you need to fill the seams and screw holes

Normally it is completely unnecessary.

exactly what I was thinking

might be smart to plaster once over the seams. just to build a little and to get a fiberglass tape so that it absorbs the movements. Then it is easier to get the tiles straight, otherwise there is a risk that the tiles right there can sink in extra but that's my opinion

 

[adam fors]

there's no reason to do it.. only if you're going to have mosaic! /tiler

And as usual with tiles, if it needs to be plastered it should be gypsum or cement-based, right?

Precis otherwise the risk is high that it will loosen. Sandspackel is aj aj

it might be smart to apply filler over the joints once, just to build it up a little and get a fiberglass tape in so that it absorbs the movements. Then it's easier to get the tiles straight, otherwise, there's a risk that the tiles could sink in extra there, but that's just my opinion

Totally unnecessary and the tape is only used when painting. There's no risk that the tiles sink in, unless it's some very thin mosaic.
