What colour adhesive to use?

[Silver Birch]

Hi all I have a job to do next week, first time doing quartz tiles......
3 bathrooms to do one in white composite quartz, one in black composite quartz, and lastly one in black quartz.
two are on chipboard overboarded with hardi one on concrete base.
I am going to use a two part flexi, is that right??? Any suggestions which make??
Worried about addy leaching through tiles, should I use white addy on all, or will that leach and show on black tiles??
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers

Are you a Tiler?

Trying to be mate! Why are you?
I am new to this and have never tiled over chipboard before and with the vast array of addy and cement boards and ditra etc I was just making sure that I was doing the right thing and using the correct product, and asking the guys with experience on here for their respected advice.
Thanks for your input by the way 🙂

White addy for the light tiles and grey for the dark ones. I would steer towards Mapei personally and if you wanted to use a two part that would be fine

thanks for that, just looking at BAL, but MAPEI seems to be edging it, not used the two part flexi before, any tips or things to avoid 🙂

Follow the mixing ratios exactly and you will be fine

Hi Silver Birch, if you look at my profile you will see I have been in this game for a long time , I wsnt being disrespectful when I asked the question, I take it you have not been tiling for long then , as above white for the light tile and grey for the dark , the only difference is that I dont think you need to go down the two part route , every one has there favourite adhesives , mine is bal

I used Mapei GraniRapid 2 part on a small floor last week, got it from the manager at my local tile giant to try out & I won't be using it again.
Not nice stuff to use & it's only an S1.

Hi Brian
Thanks for the reply, seems we got off on the wrong foot, it does always amaze me how we misunderstand text at times 🙂
I did know what to use white on light and grey on dark it was just that I have read how some of these composite tiles stain and was just double checking on here with you boys who have been doing this a lot longer than me, and therefore know better, at least I hope you all do 🙂
I was going the 2 part way as that is what I gathered was the addy to use when tiling on hardi over chipboard?
If I am wrong there could you recommend what I should be using? I was understanding that I needed the flexibility in it?
Cheers

TileMaster ultimate if you can get it, an S2 addy that sticks like the proverbial..
