Nope no problems. You just need to make sure that your rapid set is suitable for use with tiles - not all are.

just read the bag instuctions.

"Suitable for fixing ceramic floor tiles and quarries . Can be used to fix marble, limestone, terrazzoadn mosaics when incorporating a flexible additive pre-diluted 50:50 with water"

Doesn't specifically mention porcelain.

You will need to add a polymer additive to it............dave.....

Or exchange it for a suitable adhesive...........bal adhesives are spot on.....
