Best tile adhesive to use for tile backing board

Post by redec »

Hi All,

Ive just finished fitting tile backing board to the shower and bath area and wondered if anyone could recommend the right adhesive. Its says i should use a polymor flexible tile adhesive. Also will i need it to be waterproof or water resistant?

Thanks

Hi,

Just the standard metro white tile 200x100mm nothing to heavy. Also could you advise if possible if its best to joint backing board with tile backing joint tape and tile adhesive. Or Tile giant said to but joints and glue with a expoxy resin with skeleton gun.

thanks

Is one that is suitable; not the only one that will do the job...

Edit.. you won't need epoxy for the joins, just a wee bit of tape bedded in with adhesive..
