    What were the problems as the adhesive may not have been the issue......?

    hi,
    i think you also need to talk to the fiberglass guy.
    there is a coating that they can put into the resin that nothing will stick to.

    the builder bought former of internet and he cant get hold of the dude that sold him it
    water got in and underneath the tiles from a corner of wet wall thats why they are up now
    from what i have been told the leak is sorted and he needs the tiles put back down.
    from what i saw it looks as though it should be ripped out and redone, but this is not an option.
    so i am looking to stick them with the strongest adhesive. the bal tech said mosaic fix

    I sand them and then cover with Dural WP membrane to make sure the fixings are all covered/tanked.

    Bal fastflex is the choice for me if you want to use bal... otherwise it would be a 2 part S2 or single part S2..
