    Do you have any photos?

    How has it failed?

    What tiles were fixed?

    What was the substrate?

    Did you prime before laying?

    I used a 10mm trowel for the floor coverage and to prevent hollow voids i buttered the tile and scraped access off, then laid tile, checking by lifting with a hook for coverage.

    How has it failed? Tile has raised (not flat as was once laid) and parted from adhesive screed leaving original screed stuck to floor with devi mat still intact to ply wood. Close look at adhesive shows fine hair line cracks
    What tiles were fixed? Porcelain
    What was the substrate? Wood
    Did you prime before laying?
    Yes to make sure devimat stuck to the dusty ply wood.
