Agree with reaper, i fixed 4 by 4 tiles onto 6 by 6 tiles last week, used sontex acrylic, scrubbed tiles with white vinegar first to de-grease. no probs

evening gents, got to do a similar job for some friends next week. do the tiles already up need sealing prior to tiling. ive also seen some advice about scoring the tiles with an angle grinder to provide a key, is this necessary??

thanks dave.
