    Default Adhesive for quartz tiles

    Hi, I'm new here.
    I have read a lot of the threads but am still unsure about what to do. I have quartz tiles, the packaging says to use a 'latex' type adhesive. I take it this means to use a two part adhesive i.e. it is not mixed with water(?), or does it just mean it must be a flexible adhesive. There seems to be a lot of confusion about quartz tiles (mine are not the cheap ones). A well known tile outlet sold me the 1 part Granfix fastset/flexible (C2FT) rated, but I don't think I can trust the advice they give. These people seem to give conflicting advice, another also said what I had would be OK even after I referred to the 'latex' bit. Please can someone specify a brand name/spec for suitable latex adhesive. It is going onto a layer of SLC on warmup insulation boards over a reinforced timber floor.
    Many thanks for any answers.

    Hi, I have used Mapei keraquick with latex plus additive for this type of tile, never had a problem. Hope this helps.
