    Default Adhesive advice

    Hi all, first post so please go easy!
    Have done a fair bit of tiling for myself (DIY) and so far no problems, showers haven't leaked and all tiles are still holding after a good few years of use, always used bal products.
    Recently bought some 100x100 porcelain tiles from Tile Choice for the kitchen walls and they recommended their own brand 'Supergrip' adhesive, it was dead cheap too. Would appreciate any advice on this product, is it any good? I can't seem to find who makes it although it may be Palace, if so I reckon I'd trust it. The tiles are small so I guess it should be ok but would like to know for sure before starting the job. Doesn't seem to be much reference to Tile Choice products on the forum and it's made me a bit nervous!! Any help very much appreciated, thanks.

    If it is the Palace supergrip it would be OK but most of the lads on here use a cement based addy on porcelain.

    What does it say on the tub regarding Porcelain?

    Has anyone used the Tile Choice 'supergrip' adhesive? Still can't find out who make it for them, has anyone used any of their adhesive products?

    Is it this, if so it says

    Suitable for porcelain, mosaics, ceramics, Ceramic Tiles - 0.9 Litre per metre2

    To be used for fixing ceramic wall tiles and mosaics in dry internal locations such as kitchens and bathrooms. Not recommended for use in permantly damp or wet location such as swimming pools or commercial showers. It maybe used in domestic showers as long as a good waterproof, water resistant grout is used.
    If you dont feel confident in using it, take it back and swap it for something else. Better safe than sorry although the above indicates it can be used on porc.

    Thanks Oli, I did one strip last night and to be fair I cant shift them this morning so fingers crossed they'll be ok, I'm guessing it's made by Palace.
