IS there a good TUB adhesive for Porcelain ? - TilersForums.com

[LJD]

Due to the size of the job and its a nicely decorated Apartment . If I can use a good adhesive for Porcelain.It would be easier .
Floor is concrete .Walls probably block and skimmed .Mixer wall will be new backing boards etc
But I have been using bag Mix for years ! So have no idea of Tub stuff .

Thanks

Tubbed gear isn't suitable for use when fixing porcelain I'm afraid

In a word - NO!
Tubbed adhesive needs air to dry so as the process begins on the edges the adhesive in the middle of the tile stays uncured. Porcelain is virtually impervious so nowhere for the moisture to go.

Bal white star plus is a tubbed adhesive and can be used with porcelain tiles.
Although tile size will be restricted.

I get the air dry / ceramic tile thing . Just wondered if someone had made a new porcelain tub adhesive . Guess I will have to make up a little Cordec booth to mix up in !!!!
