Wall adhesive on floors - Tile Advice

[JohnMag]

Hi there,

I’ve made a mistake and used ready mix wall adhesive with floor tiles.

Is there any hope of this working (as they’re small 15cm tiles - they seem to have dried ok?) or should I rip up and start again with powdered adhesive?

Many thanks

Big mistake, rip up and start again

Thanks for your reply. If left, how long before they’d start to come up? Thanks.

To be honest maybe 1-2 weeks and start popping up

Thanks. Blimey! Is it because the wall adhesive isn’t flexible like floor adhesive?

If they are fixed down dont worry. It's not a problem til it's a problem. Most wall tile adhesive in tubs is the same as the floor tile adhesive anyway.... it's not the most professional way to fix tiles but if they are stuck what does it matter.

Hi Ajax123,

Many thanks for your reply and the reassurance! They seem well stuck, I’d certainly have a job getting one up! Perhaps as they’re smaller tiles they’ve dried better (with wall adhesive) than larger tiles would’ve...? Thanks again.
