    Default Grey Adhesive under Travertine?

    Ha, at least I got you to read this thread...

    Actually using white flexi slow set adhesive under travertine, but wondering if it's OK to use grey flexi rapid set adhesive under the hardiebacker (floor) to save me a few squid and let me start laying tile the same day.

    thanks

    i would never use a grey adhesive for travertine, if u get a shadow & the client isnt happy then u rip up n start again, it should cost u about 2 quid? xtra for white adhesive per bag, do a job right the 1st time!!
