When you say not set, has the Silicon set?
Was the surface you fixed to wet?

Hi davey.....were the tiles clean and dry.?....i have used these kits numerous times and no probs.....did you use enough Silicon , ,they have to have plenty behind to grip....just clean up the old Silicon and use your own...make sure it is dry before hand ....let us know how you get on...

going back on wednesday to re fix them .most are still on so i will see if it was just a case of them not being set. if not will just re fix... cheers.
