    Default Adhesive for natural stone tiles?

    I spent ages in B+Q the other night trying to find tile adhesive suitable for stone tiles (kitchen wall). Several makes stated they were not suitable (ceramic only?) - the type I bought did not say anything - it was 'Buildfix Ultimate grab' by Mapei

    Does anyone know if this will be suitable?
