One Day

I have honestly fixed tiles in the pouring rain by simply mixing the powder in the rain. I kid not. Totally wrong but I was out of time and patience. I did it, thought "what the heck" used the adhesive as grout also. Cleaned it up as best I could and ten years on, it's all still there looking good.
Now I have a proper work tent and wouldn't do it again.
It was ardex adhesive too Tom.

i didnt actually start it in the rain, my original start date was postponed due to the weather being rubbish! i had four good days in on the job to get as much down as possible, just didnt have the chance to carry on! I have done lots of outside work before, and always erected a canopy or lean to so i can work without worrying about the weather - obviously not in conditions below 5deg. But this time the customer refused blankly to having a canopy. Job would have only been 7-10 days!!
To be fair....... If the job was to take 7 to 10 days, and not allowed to weather proof it.... I wouldn't of even done the job..... Totally unrealistic imo not allowing a conopy...

I have fixed tiles underwater in swimming pools so I say you do not understand which materials to use to help overcome the situation.

Correct me if I'm wrong Tom, but this is an advice forum, is it not?
The op is asking for guidance, does it make you feel superior to state that he doesn't know what he's doing and that you would know what to do?
Either give the guy the correct advice or don't bother posting.
It's irritating to say the least.

You can use X7 that will set underwater.
