18mm ply screwed at 5-6" apart the tiles are porcelain the floor is new with new joists spaced at 300mm . 2 weeks later all the tiles came up in about 12mins useing a wall paper scraper (10 sqm ) after i had found the first one was loose

Not sure if it's relevent, but was the ply primed at all?

**JJarvis** · 25-11-2008

I think you need a technical call out for the adhesive...have you still got some left...?

Don't let a tile shop tell you it's contaminated ply....

Was this the "Toppfix" powdered in a grey bag with yellow writing?
Reason I ask for clarity is that Topps also sold/sell a ready mixed adhesive which they claim to be suitable for wooden floors.

I also know that there have been "issues" of late with Palace adhesives.
My own RSF took hours to go off today. Fortunately I only used it on the bottom course of tiles so fingers crossed....
