Yes pour it into place and leave it to do it's magic for a few mins. Then trowel it up, this shocks it into place and after wiggling tile into position, it becomes live again and fills the whole back of the tile...Gaz

White or grey?
Just used white and it doesn't need to sit (says so on the label) grey does. although, as I have just found out it is a good idea to make a border so that the adhesive can't flow past the area you are trying to tile. It pours therefore it runs! I ended up having to back butter after the tiles had dropped 3 mm. | | |

Seems recently that grouts and adhesive are a precise water content for mixing than ever before  |

cheers gaz, does it just take away the need to back butter or is it actually partially levelling the subfloor, then the spreading is to fix? | | |
