Discuss Anyone seen this happen? glass mosaics losing the backing after tiling in the Canada area at TilersForums. The USA and UK Tiling Forum (Also now Aus, Canada, ROI, and more)
I have fixed loads with palace even going back to when they used to run houseplan as a separate brand and never had an issue with it ever . Whereas you read loads on here about uneven grout colours with things like Mapei ucp or bal mm
I plan on getting the tile shop to send samples to both palace and mosaic manufacturer, I've got replacement mosaics off manudacturer so I'm going to see if palace will do anything as well
some times its as simple as not back skimming this leaves air trapped leading to oxidization between
the/ backing/ adhesive/air trapped/ cement adhesive creates heat as it drys uneven drying will create hot and cold spots on back painted tiles this is what can happen
Oh just one more thing about palace , topp fix is made by palace chemicals for Topps tiles and there are loads of traders up and down the country that use this product ( I am not one of them ) and keep going back for more .
Another thing I am not employed or have any affiliation with palace .
I once fixed a 20+sqm travertine floor using Toppfix white rsf (Palace).
It hadn't even begun to set after 24hrs and I had a water-stained floor as a result and an unhappy customer.
Palace were not interested in even talking about it. Thankfully Topps rectified it.
Never used it since around 2008 and won't now.
Just a quick update.
Palace adhesive Rep was in the tile shop and the answer they gave was.
"The white palace adhesive is ok to use on mosaics but they cannot garantee it working as mosaics are made abroad and they do not know what materials are used to bond the back of them, and also it depends what is on the wall aready, we suggest using palace tub adhesive as it has no acid in it that could react with the mosaics".

I've been given replacement mosaics, palace are not playing ball.
So when I get a chance to take them off and replace I will take a few pictures and post them.
Also I will pick everyone's brains for best adhesive to use to put the new ones back up.
