Which Tile Adhesive should I use?

[Holly64]

Hi

I have tiled two walls before in a bathroom so just a normal DIYer (I was pleased with my end result). My tiles were 100 x 100 and I used powdered adhesive. I found it time consuming to keep mixing up. I think I had to mix up frequently because the adhesive went off really quick.

It looks like I will be tiling another two walls - the tiles measure 300 x 200 white ceramic and will be above a bath which has an over head shower off of a cylinder tank emersion heater.

One of the walls still has tiles on, they are rock solid and I am up against it time wise - I will be tiling straight over the top.

I have read good reviews on Bostick Non Slip Tile Adhesive - would this product be OK to work with? Just worried if I am a bit too slow and the product dries out.

The description seems to imply that it would be OK if it's "correctly grouted"

But I wouldn't do it.

Standard set powdered adhesive has a pot life of around 4 hours, surely that's long enough? You don't need to mix the whole bag in one go!

Ready mixed is fine but over existing tiles it takes slightly longer to go off.
