    Default Adhesive Advice

    Just started tiling my bathroom floor using Vitraflex rapid set flexible adhesive and unfortunately I've come to the end of the bag and only have about 65% of the floor down. The adhesive & tiles came from a friend of the family who lives some distance away and Vitraflex doesn't seem to be stocked round here. Am I OK using a different type of adhesive for the rest of the floor or should I wait until I can get some matching adhesive delivered? Floor is upstairs bathroom WBP plywood with underfloor heating and SLC on top.

    Thanks,

    Tom.

    Thanks Mike. This is the stuff I've been using: http://www.bostik.co.uk/construction/product/bostik/Bostik-Vitri-Flex/243

    I
    can get any of the Mapei stuff without too much trouble I think, would standard KeraFlex be OK?
