Troubleshooting

Tiles not adhering firmly

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free from dust/grease). Check that the adhesive was applied evenly with sufficient coverage, especially using the solid bed method for shower walls. Verify tile compatibility and substrate suitability.

Adhesive is too thick or too thin

This product is ready-mixed and should be used as supplied. If it appears unusually thick, ensure it has not been stored in freezing conditions. If too thin, it may indicate improper storage or contamination. Contact manufacturer support if issues persist.

Grout discoloration

The white color of the adhesive is designed to prevent discoloration. Ensure consistent application and proper grout cleaning post-installation to maintain the intended aesthetic.

Slow setting time

Ensure correct application thickness and environmental conditions (temperature and humidity). Very low temperatures or high humidity can slow the setting process. Avoid disturbing tiles until fully set.
