without sounding to old in 20 od yrs tried pretty much everything if u really want to know how good your adhesive is is see how easy it comes off your cloths after they have been through the washing machine at high temp if the adhesive is still there u know its good personally i stick to nicobond white floor adhesive holds up well and sticks like **** to a blanket on wood floors i use wf21 so good it will stick **** to a bar of soap i only do natural stone now and have done for the last ten yrs so as for ceramics i havnt a clue whats the best about at the moment mark

the pricing forum is a sub-forum to the tilers arms.. you need access to the arms to post in the pricing forum.....

Any questions just post them in the tiling forum until you have access to the arms...
