    We at BAL don't recommend any.....porcelain tiles need powdered adhesive which are polymer modified to stick to the body....Gaz

    I use powder flexi, something like Mapei slow set flexi on walls and fast set on floors. There are some makers make powder adhesive for porcelian, but its all the same IMO.

    The only place I can get Bal is Topps, and I won't use them as they only give out cards to the Polish where I live.............UN-British IMO

    Ardex D30 can be used on small porcelain as long as the substrate is porous. Personally, though I would only use bagged stuff.

    Ardex D30 is lovely stuff, but I only use it on a max of 200 x 200 porcelain.
