Hello there,

I've got a job on for tomorrow, and I was using ceramic tiles, so I bought the appropriate tub adhesive from Topps Tiles, but the customer has just been on the phone and has changed his mind and is now using PORCELAIN tiles (brick affect) 300mm x 100mm approx, will I be able to use the adhesive that I'be bought or do I have to buy some other type?
 
hi waynestores ..change it to a spf adhesive.....dave.....

make sure you prime walls first as cementious adhesives react with plaster............dave..

p.s....use a flexible grout as well...
 
you have to use a flexible grout because normal un modified grout will not key to the sides of a porcelain tile......dave...
 
Any adhesive that is polymodified will be ok for porcelain but a cementious adhesive will be better than a dispersion adhesive when it comes to the drying process.........dave..
