Before I saw the light and BAL etc I had bought a tub of Travis Perkins Waterproof Tile Adhesive for a previous tiling job. It worked very well.

I now need about half a tub of tile adhesive (small ceramic tiles), and have about half a tub of this adhesive, still perfectly good.

The tiles to go up are NOT in a shower area and hence will not come into contact with water spray. Do you reckon I'll be OK, or do I need to go and get some more BAL?

Thanks

Hi Cornish.. Are you suggesting TP Waterproof tile adhesive doesn't work in wet areas???

surely if you buy Bal you'll have a use for what you have left sometime soon.Use what you know

If it's a D1 adhesive then its not waterproof.
If you have half a tub left, it's a dry area, and you like using it, then go ahead.
Waste not want not.

No Tile adhesive is water proof so any company that says it is, is lying!! it maybe is water resistant which is totally different something that has water added to it in the first place cannot be waterproof!! BAL never advertises a waterproof adhesive!!

But like the others say stick to BAL they dont tell fibs like your local big brand DIY stores!!

No, but other retailers would

IMO there's nothing wrong with this product, in fact I used it to tile above a bath with shower over.

It's just that I've become a little paranoid about 'lesser products'.

I just wondered what your thoughts were, and whether anyone had had bad experiences with TP tile adhesive.
