Discuss Tiling Over 2 Days - will the adhesive shrink significantly? in the Tile Adhesive and Grout Advice area at TilersForums.com.

I have a 17 m sq floor area which is an irregular shape and requires cutting tiles - mostly single cuts but some with multiple cuts.

I am using a leveling system like this one: Google Image Result for https://i.ytimg.com/vi/I3Q015R7LxA/maxresdefault.jpg - https://goo.gl/images/FapT39
and this adhesive: 7.adhesive.jpg - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tC6_m_Xyvumr-ekj2ESO_3H7ZxltQKCQ/view?usp=sharing

I plan to lay all of the non-cut tiles in the first day and if I have time to cut I'll do the rest - but plan to take my time.

I'm wondering if the adhesive shrinks at all as it dries and if so that will offset the leveling system and create lippage. Is this likely to be an issue?
