Plastering over Denso Tape.....

I am about to cover some copper pipe covered in denso tape with bondin



coat before I finish off a new shower enclosure. The pipe is cut int the wall and runs from the shower mixer valve outlet to the showe itself. Having only done half a job and not covered the pipe yet I've notice that some of the bonding coat that has dried and is touching the pip run has absorbed some of the denso tape coating (whatever it is) and i softish to the touch. When I fully cover the pipe ( 3cm depth) is this absorbtion going t continue and weaken the bonding coat? I am now thinking that I've stuffed up and should run the section agai and use other pipe protection as denso is not suitable as I previousl thought

Thought denso was for protecting copper pipe in concrete ? Never seen copper pipe protected when buried on wall plaster. If really worried place say 15mm copper pipe in 22mm plastic, which is what I have done before in concrete.
