Tub or cement adhesive?
May 29th, 2006, 6:56pm
 
I've got some ceramic tiles to stick up in the bathroom which are 260mm x 380mm and weigh about 1.5kg each.

The wall is masonry, some of it painted. I've done the gaffer tape test to check for the soundness of the painted bits.

Is there a tub adhesive with enough grab to cope with these tiles (without using batons) or should I go for a cement-based adhesive?

Even with powdered you will get a bit of slump, You could just get away with BAL whitestar at that size but would be better with a powdered adhesive especially if the walls are anything but flat.
