Hi,

Can you tell me if I've messed this up, please?

Tiled one wall of the bathroom last night, finished about 9pm. I randomly put mosaic tiles in amongst the normal cermaics.

This morning decided one of the mosaics looked rubbish and I went to cut it out. I thought this would be difficult as the adhesive would have set.

Wrong! It just popped off and the adhesive was a little powdery when I scraped it off.

Is this normal? Does it take longer than 10 hours to dry and set? (I really hope so).

Background. I took the old tiles off and a plasterer 'patched' up the wall when he was skimming some ceilings. I didn't PVA amd the adhesive is Unibond shower/wet room 5 star waterproof stuff.
