Anyone seen this happen? glass mosaics losing the backing after tiling

[Dumbo]

Oh just one more thing about palace , topp fix is made by palace chemicals for Topps tiles and there are loads of traders up and down the country that use this product ( I am not one of them ) and keep going back for more .
Another thing I am not employed or have any affiliation with palace .

Surely though Ray if you don't back skim it will leave voids for the same process as you described.

not back skimming was what i was trying to get across when i said not back skimming causes this

With you now Ray, either I read it wrong or you wrote wrong 🙂 or it could be the dark rum and lemonade I'm on😛

I once fixed a 20+sqm travertine floor using Toppfix white rsf (Palace).
It hadn't even begun to set after 24hrs and I had a water-stained floor as a result and an unhappy customer.
Palace were not interested in even talking about it. Thankfully Topps rectified it.
Never used it since around 2008 and won't now.

Just a quick update.
Palace adhesive Rep was in the tile shop and the answer they gave was.
"The white palace adhesive is ok to use on mosaics but they cannot garantee it working as mosaics are made abroad and they do not know what materials are used to bond the back of them, and also it depends what is on the wall aready, we suggest using palace tub adhesive as it has no acid in it that could react with the mosaics".

Thanks for the update. What's happening to these tiles then now?

I've been given replacement mosaics, palace are not playing ball.
So when I get a chance to take them off and replace I will take a few pictures and post them.
Also I will pick everyone's brains for best adhesive to use to put the new ones back up.

Thanks for all the help guys
