Depends entirely on what make of adhesive Tysfoot. You would need to read the bag, mate.
One of the things drummed into us during my training course...RTFB... Read The F****ing Bag. I always do now, even if I have read it before!

Hi Mate,
Best to always make windows the starting point for the job. Spending as much time as required checking all round the room is expected to. Make your level and plumb lines around the window and then your datum all the way around the room too. From here you can use a staff stick to anticipate all cust etc around the room and move starting points accordingly.
When I did a window on my college course it is the one thing that really oppend up my eyes and after doing this gives you great understanding of where you should start in the future.
Another tips is after tiling around the window make one row of tile all th way around the room. If this row of tile lines up your off to a good start and it can make the job alot easier too, it helps you and means that you havent put hundreds of tiles on before realising any potential mistakes.
Good luck mate. Dont be put off by bad experiences as I am sure most people have had them.
