Hi,
I'm in the middle of tiling my bathroom walls and floor with large porcelain tiles (40cmx40cm). I've had ups and downs and it's taking longer than I thought, but the layout at least was planned well. I did spend a couple of hours diamond drilling a tile to fit around the shower valves (which I was very proud of), only to drop it while checking the fit, shattering it in my lovely new bath (I nearly gave up on that day!).
Anyway, my question is really about whether the tiles I've fixed so far are going to fall off the wall or not! I started using a ready-mixed adhesive for bathrooms, (didn't know any better and nobody mentioned anything in the tile shop, and it didn't say so on the tub) I've since read somewhere that I should use a powdered cement based adhesive for large Porcelain tiles as the ready mixed stuff may not be able to dry out fully due to the size/type of tile. The tiles seem to be stuck on well at the moment so do I need to worry? Should I use something like BAL Rapedset Flexible for the rest of the tiling?
Advice would be much appreciated!
Cheers
