Porcelain Adhesive

[Silverback]

I have quite a big job coming up using porcelain tiles. Is there any type of adhesive that is suitable for porcelian tiles that I could get in a tub. Or is it going to be powder and mix it yourself?

many thanks.

Is it walls or floor and what size tile?....I would use a porcelbond or flexi cement based anyway, but just interested whether it's wall or floor etc...?

Thanks for the quick reply, it's walls and the tiles are 300/600.

It will ony have to be a flexi cement based mate...I like to use BAL single part flexi...Prime with BAL apd or similar.............

I would use a 10mm trowel for that size tile as well

Or you could use a tubbed acrylic adhesive like one of my customers did.

And then watch them fall off the wall slowly after 3 weeks:joker: (as they did.)

(don't use tubbed EVER - I'm joking!)

Watch the weight of the tiles,20kg on plaster,and 32kg on plasterboard. ,and above all check soundness of walls,here endeth ? my sermon.
