Tile adhesive?
I'm going to install some slate tile over concrete. This is my first try at installing tile. Should I use adhesive or thin set? It will get wet occasionally. I do plan to seal the slate.
The floor is flat and smooth, but was painted years ago. What should I do to prep it? Thanks... Gary |

I am doing all of my tile with thinset on top of tile backer, but my father has been using adhesive on most of his projects and I haven't seen an issue with either way. No problems have been found with either way, but the adhesive is quicker and you use less grout if you use thin set. However, I am not a professional, I am just always remodeling something or another around houses. You may want to wait for a different person to answer if you want to be very sure on an answer. Good luck!

Have installed 12x24 inch porcelain tiles in our kitchen on top of old tiles. Used a premixed tile adhesive (which a friend used in his kitchen on top of old tile with no problem). After 5 days it has not dried fully (only dried in a few spots). Will it dry eventually or do I have to start over?
