Ready Mixed Floor Tile Adhesive is it suitable for wall tile

[Tezbedz]

Hi I have a tub of Ronseal Tile on Concrete Floor adhesive and grout, can I use this to fix 330 x 250 mm ceramic tiles on to ceramic tiles on a kitchen wall.

If not what would you advise, it is basically a strip between worktop and wall cupboards.

Thanks

I wouldn't use a product that's an adhesive and grout in one - they're horrible to apply and perform poorly in my opinion.
That size of tile is about as big as you want to be going if you want to use a pre-mixed adhesive. Ideally, a powdered adhesive should be used, but they are more difficult to use and are messier. The choice is yours.

Thanks, I used the powdered adhesive last time, but, got this tub off my lad and thought it might be ok, shame to waste something.

The powdered is cheaper, easy enough to mix in a bucket, I put it on a piece of contiboard about 18" square to make it easier to get on trowel.

I also use a piece of hard plastic as spatula to clean out bucket.
