i need to fit some wall tiles in my bathroom (some may remember my posts asking advice about 14 months ago but its been put on hold for a long time,lol)
they are roughly 10 by 13 inches, 8mm thick and ceramic, what adhesives would you recommend? ready mixed or powdered and where is the best/cheapest place to get it from
they are going on a plaster wall once the old ones have come off and the baths fitted
cheers in advance
Steve....

Re: adhesive advice
With those size tiles I would suggest a cement based bagged adhesive as you are on the limit with dispersion addys (ready mixed)
