Prime plaster with a diluted Bostik Flexibond 1 part Flexibond to 2 parts water. Allow to dry until a dry film has formed. Drying time will be dependent upon ambient conditions
Loosely nail a wooden batten horizontally to the wall at least one tile height from the lowest point you are tiling to e.g. skirting board. Use a spirit level to ensure batten is level
Try to ensure that it is not necessary to cut thin pieces of tile above or below the batten as this can look untidy. If possible, cut tiles should be placed in corners and edges where they are not so noticeable
Measure tile widths across the batten then mark a vertical line with a plumb line down the centre of the area to be tiled. Mark the wall behind the string line and loosely nail the wooden batten vertically to the wall along the marks. Check the batten is vertical with the spirit level
