Hi ya, i really need some help please

[flowerpot]

No they are just the same, I could provide links to where people have had exactly the same thing happen with this exact adhesive, after weeks they are still not dry.

I am not sure whether I am allowed to put links on?

 

[Gazzer]

If they are not dry now then they never will be. Sorry !

 

[flowerpot]

I know they are all coming off, my b/f just phoned me, his arms are killing him because of getting it off the walls, (none on the actual tiles though)

 

[Gazzer]

Where abouts near Bham are you?

Can't say more than that. It goes to show how important adhesive selection is. And how important it is to use a dedicated tile forum to find out what adhesive to use too

not read the whole thread but if the tiles were wet when you put them up theres a fair chance thats whats caused the issue,no tubbed adhesive will stick to a tile that is soaking wet and if you had them outside in the rain am guessing that is what the problem is.

The tiles weren't out in the rain, he was cutting them outside (under a brolley) :hurray: but even the ones he didn't need to cut that were dry have the exact same problem

All tiles are now removed, hard work :incazzato:

However, the row of tiles we did with the BAL Rapid Set adhesive have virtually the same problem, they seem to be much harder to remove but when removed there is virtually no adhesive stuck to the tile, the adhesive is an absolute nightmare to remove from the wall :mad2:

Can anyone think of why this would be happening?

I'm really starting to panic now and this is the good stuff I'm using and having the same trouble.

The majority of the tiles weren't wet, only the top row and ones round plugs that were cut with the wet cutter.

Flowerpot, would you like somebody to call round, I'm sure there's quality guys that are forum members that could have a look, or could you possibly post some pics please?

hi flowerpot if you removed the tiles ,then re=tiled using the bal adhesive just leave over night then grout them there will be no probs . you say they were hard to remove the ones stuck with the bal , you have to have faith in the adhesive , i could tile with bal adhesive and take the tiles of later , after a day .it doesent mean its not worked , it will cure more over time .hope this helps
