What is tile adhesive for anymore? - Tile Advice

I think that adhesive manufacturers factor in the "idiot factor".
In other words, they give guidance on how to use their products, but if they were completely truthful, for instance saying you must achieve 75% coverage, then the "idiots" would only achieve 50%. So by saying you must achieve 100%, the "idiots" will achieve 75% and all is well with the world.

Agree!


Where’s the agree button gone I like it?

A lot of the time by the time you have troweled the adhesive numerous times you have well and truly keyed it in. if you just put a large amount down and troweled it once then that wouldn't be keyed in. That's my thoughts on it. Back buttering, adhesive sticks to adhesive miles better than it sticks to a porcelain tile that could be dusty.
