Best tile adhesive for an absolute beginner ?

[Rob Adams]

Thanks for all the advice so far guys have decided after much deliberation to go for bal white star adhesive and mapei grout, could someone recommend me the best SBR to use for bal white star ? thanks again !

i think you wil find there is no need for primer with bal white star so youve also saved yourself some money

I'm not so sure about not priming plaster. I'd prime just to be sure.

I just finished grouting a new cultured marble shower pan to porcelain tiles. For some reason, the grout at that seam is degrading and coming off the seam - It was applied correctly, dried, and sealed before use. This did not happen in the other bathroom I recently completed - but that seam was from lowest run of tiles directly to the top of an old ceramic coated bathtub. I am correcting it by sealing the crumbling spots with flex bond cement (what I used to stick the tiles to the wall and floor) but of course the color does not match - flex bond is white and the grout is gray! Any ideas why the grout is not working in that spot? Help!

There might only be slight variations from company to company, any good tile shop.
