Dusty tiles

[enduro]

I was fixing some ceramic wall tiles last week and i couldn't believe how much dust was on the back of them when i wiped my hand over them, i had to wipe the backs of them with a sponge before i could fix them as i wasn't happy just putting them up, im beginning to wonder if i should do this with all wall tiles...i always just wet the back of porcelain as i find the adhere to the adhesive better when i fix them. What do you guys do? or don't you check...

Got to say I have not had much problem with dusty ceramics. I always look at the back of the tiles to make sure I fit them all the same way round so I would have noticed. More of a problem with stone, I found.

Be honest thats why I use powdered addy, Find it sticks so much better
