Wall tile adhesive
Hi, I've got wall tiles, Porcelain. 10mm thick. They are 60 x 30
I'm using OPF and whilst they are nice and sticky they seem to slip down when they go on the wall and I have to hold them for 20minutes each or prop them up.
Is this normal behaviour and is there anything else I can do?
TIA

Use a batten on your first row of tiles and then spacers between rows. Tile adhesive while marketed as being non-slip most of the time, has it's limits.
