How bad is All in One adhesive & grout?

[AMCON CM]

Hi Guys, New on here. But weve been tiling for a while, Just had a bad experience doing a kitchen spashback for a contractor as a favour before christmas in a friends house. Bascially i was told they had all materials sorted, when i got there it was johnson 4x4 tiles.... grand but a big old bucket of unibond dung that does as adhesive and grout in one. I seen this crap in some shops and wouldnt stoop to pick it up!! never used it till today. its so thick, and takes a primary set fairly quickly, but not a good one, tile can knock off just trying to remove a spacer. Then to grout its too sticky and takes a couple of washes to remove especially in a rough decor. Normally id have sone normal stuff in van, but i had nothing and this was a holiday house way in the mountain, no chance to get anything else. A terrible product and it really hacked me off!! Anyway rant over.... bit heavy for first post, just wondering if anyone had any storys where all goes against you or if you have used this stuff.
And .... Happy Christmas!

would never ever use that stuff, should be banned imo, its useless and a waste of space...

Your mistake you see is trying to use it as a normal adhesive.... What you do is take a spatula and use it to put five dots of glue on the back of th tile then press it to the wall.... This is a particularly good way to tile with large format stone or porcs .... ;-p

As above, it should be banned! Adhesive & grout are designed for there own purpose. This should never be mixed. As well as that, it is incredibly difficult to work with.
