Hi all
Im after a bit of advice please !
we are in the process of laying matt porcelain tiles over a ceramic tiled floor in the kitchen. The exisiting floor is sound and level (we just dont like it!) and have used ready mixed adhesive/grout and a week later we still seem to have tiles that are not stuck down....
Around the edges of the tiles seem to be set solid but in the middle of tiles the adhesive hasnt yet set (we dug one up and the adhesive was still soft in the centre with only about a centimetre border around the outside having set). We havent grouted yet as were told it would take longer to dry so have allowed a week rather than the stated 48 hours but am just wondering if anyone has any experience of this and any idea just how much longer it will take to dry?
any responses would be appreciated as its quite a large area (35 sq metres) and the thought of taking it all up is depressing!
thanks in advance
