You may find that your adhesive can take as long as 4 days to set, this is not unheard of with ready mixed adhesive. If the wall were painted then the adhesive can soften they paint and make it almost wet again (to the extent that you could remove the paint and adhesive with the flat side of a trowel) it may be a case that your husband removed the props just a little to early when the adhesive had not fully set.
I have to agree that ready mixed was not the best choice in this case but its done now and hopefully your tiles will be fine. As suggested try to remove a few tiles to see how easy they come off. I would however give the tiles a few more days to give the adhesive a better chance to fully cure.
Tile giant do sell small bags and I would reccomend using Kerraquick which come in quantities as little as 5kg which would be ideal for your repair on window reveal.
Good luck and dont panic too much just yet, give a few more days. Im sure you will learn that the easiest way is not the best when it comes to tiling so mix it yourself next time:lol:
I hope you get it sorted
