Does anyone know of any material that can be used as a training cement for tiles. I'm looking for something that has the same consistency as tiling cement but does not set and could be reused. I have been told that there is a builders caulk that you can get in a tub that can be used. I just need to be able to put the tiles up and then remove them again to reuse.

Yes, bucket pre-mixed adhesive can be used as a training cement for tiles. However, have you tried mounting putty? It is also non-setting and can be easily removed, so it's ideal for training.

I usually use DAP DryDex No More Nails Mounting Putty, it's water-based. And Loctite PL 300 Premium Construction Adhesive. This product is a high-strength adhesive that is also non-setting. It is ideal for attaching tiles to uneven surfaces.

A little lifehack that I got: apply a thin layer of adhesive to the back of each tile.
