Wouldn't touch it myself. Laid my kitchen floor before I became a "trained professional" using Unibond stuff. Started to crack after a month or two and when I came to re-do it (3 years later), post training, I litterally swept the adhesive off the floor!
Not good stuff!

Tell them straight that the stuff isn't great and what the consequences could be.....
If they insist then get them to sign something saying that if it goes wrong you ain't liable! | | |
