hi
it was wall tiling to wet areas in 3 bathrooms the wall finish was gypsum skim coat i primed the wall with one coat of tilers primer then carried out my work using a white powder flexi adhesive its a new hse not yet in use but the builder has come back to inform me that the tiles are hollow and loose
when i checked it out all the tiles are blown and are coming away from the wall like a sheet of glass leaving the wall as clean as if it never saw adhesive im tiling 30 years and have never seen this before
their been some reaction between the adhesive and the gypsum.

What primer exactly and was the gypsum finish over polished....
