Can anyone recommend an adhesive for tile on tile which has a rapid set, or does anyone know any tricks that the Spanish use by adding yeso or something. Any ideas then please let me know. Cheers.

i personally use mapei....your adhesive for tile on tile will need to flexible, but be better to remove the existing tiles if possible...Mark.

I usually recommend to remove old tiling but if you are going to tile on tile and want a rapid setting adhesive then try this......it is available in white as well.....

Cheers gents for your replys, but unfortunately I´ve seen no adhesives by either of the names mentioned here in Spain, although the Bal one does look the business.
Also Mark could you tell us why a flexi adhesive is necessary when laying tile on tile.
Thanks in advance.

The flexible adhesives, especially those with prooven flexibility acc. to EN 12002 class S1, have more synthetic polymers content which is needed for better contact on the old tile´s surface.
Check if you can get an addy C2TE S1. Buenos dias y hasta luego.

cheers

Hi,try and find a builders merchants that stocks weber products,i was living in the Valencia region and could get it everywhere. I cant remember the exact addy i used but was fast set and flexible and worked nicely. Hope this was useful,Ben.

Hi Bish, don't know if it's too late but if you want to do tile on tile, prep the walls with Ibercontak (available from most escayola shops about 50€ a tub) Or make up a mix of Latex, drop of water, handful of sand, cemento cola and cement until a little gooey . Roller or paint it on, leave until the following day. Adhesives are Capablanca, Cleintex (sags alot) Pegoland (gritty) Mapei (no idea). All adhesives are available from any Almacen (builders merchant) Most cost between 2.50 - 4.00 €
If you are installing Porcelain use the porcelain adhesive between 6.50-18.00€ a bag depending on qty
There is no rapid set in spain only the heat speed things up.

Hi mate sorry this is a bit late but just found this thread any non slip adehisive is sutible for tile on tile where i live we normaly use Pegoland non slip (si desgualde) but if there is heavy traffic we use Pegoland Porcelanico which is for tile on tile if it is a timber suspended floor or under floor heating use pegoland flex dont use anything from Terra Pillar as it is crap Webber also do Quality stuff.
