Are you sure its pva, the electrician that i use , primes the floor with the stuff that comes with the ufh kit to help the tape stick. ---- Also i always latex the floor to cover the wires so its easier to lay tiles and so you dont cut the wire spreadind the adhesive. | ||||||||||

Just explain your worries to him, then you have covered yourself. I always butter the back of porcelain tiles as well as the floor to make sure the buggers stick. | ||||||||||
