| What adhesive for 400mm x 400mm glass tiles? | | I have a bathroom and kitchen to tile, using glass tiles 400mm x 400mm, glass is 6mm thick, painted back. Tile is heavy so I wondering that normal glass tile adhesive won’t have capability to hold the tile while adhesive dries out which is true, I tried and tile is too heavy, adhesive can’t cope with that…I did experiment, used Saudal Fix-All adhesive on the back of the tile then firmly pressed to the wall, and works fine…Folks, can you tell me what is the pros and cons using this Saudal Fix All adhesive instead of normal tile adhesive in the long term?Cheers, Martin | | |
