which hot !!!!
I do not live in Africa !!!!
if the tile is absorbent, it is also absorbent in uk !!
revise reading data sheets .😉
flunked. ahaha 🙂

The only time tiles are supposed to be wet here, is on the very very rare days when it gets warm!
Honestly, I've never seen any advice from manufacturers advising soaking tiles.
I wipe the back of ceramics with a wet sponge to get dust off, never really considered the absorption thing until now!
 
Just wanted to say big thank you to all who commented and made suggestions.
After following your advise floor is down and rock solid (well with a little flexibility from the flex adhesive lol)
Only thing I didn't use the lash level clips as I had to lift the tile slightly to get the clips under and I felt like it was compromising the adhesion somewhat. Luckily the floor was nice and level so even spread on the adhesive gave me no lipage so to speak.
Thought I would post a picture 🙂

Either a bad choice of levelling system, or insufficient adhesive!
