Grey or white adhesive with grey limestone?

[widler]

Just wondering if anyone has ever done a comparison to see if it dose make that much difference. ..

Aye I would be curious too,I've got a limestone job coming up ( plus a geometric hallway in the same house, 1st one, I'm excited) so I will test a bit with grey and white.
Prob make no difference at all [emoji85][emoji86][emoji87]

grey or white dosnt realy matter mate aslong as you BUTTER THE BACK of the tiles with the adhesive u are using if you dontspread the back you risk tiles popping up.

Yes I think we all know that.....we're just wondering if it would make a difference to the tile shade..

Certainly got me thinking if it would really make any difference. As has been raised, when back skimmed then laid would you actually tell?
Light coloured limestone is semi translucent hence why bleed through is an issue, but unsure with darker stone.

Just a question,has anybody ever had bleed thru,I always stick to lighter tiles white addy,darker tiles grey addy,but many moons ago when I did my first light limestone floor the customer supplied the adhesive which was grey and not knowing then about any info on the problems of bleed thru we laid the floor, went back ten years later and it still look ok and this was all supplied with the kitchen from Harrods.

I've never had it CJ, but often worry about it happening. I may perform some tests if I can get a hold of some of my friends offcuts

I have done a job where I ran out of white addy and used grey on light limestone, the few with grey were buttered like the rest and haven't shadowed or shown any difference.

Your joints must have been pretty clean, as you know it will shadow/patchy the grout and tiles
