The guys are trying to give advise on the correct procedure rather than tile on tile...

Correct procedure for what ? He's asking which adhesive to use to lay porcelain on top of existing ceramic tiles ?

I dont think people are getting his point here ?
He's asking what adhesive to tile porcelain tiles on top of existing Ceramics, Flexible adhesive is not good enough!
I am in the same boat next week and still not quite sure what road to take?
Ardex do a brilliant Primer P4 dries like rough sandpaper on glazed tile ,but is £70 trade at CTD
I reckon my other option is an admix to rapid set ,much stronger bond than Flexible addys!

that's why we're condoning taking existing ceramics up,,,,,we do get the point by the way, but we're giving professional opinions that's all

So we know what the substrate is We know it's solid enough to carry the extra weight And that what is down is not drummy then Laticrete Gold would be the adh I would recommend (flexable adh)The existing tiles will need the glaze roughened and extra expansion joints will be needed because you have porc over ceramics hope this helps
