combined tile adhesive +grout

[Gill Smith]

given that grout is so much the cheaper ingredient

and that getting tiles to stay stuck to the wall is Number One priority

WTF would buy a pot of tile adhesive-grout?

whatever costs the least...

Can't most of the better adhesives be used as grout? Although I prefer to use a dedicated one.

Adhesives aren't usually pure white

[The Natural Philosopher]

No. the better adhesives are vile coloured and plasticky.

I have used grout'n'go but a good adhesive it ain't. The advantage is that you can do a job very quickly in one shot. No need to grout later.

[The Medway Handyman]

Just like me :-)

[The Medway Handyman]

Errrm. No you can't. The adhesive dries via the air gap around the tile, if you grout straight away it doesn't dry properly. Plus the pressure required to get the grout into the gaps properly can move the tiles.

Just saves buying two pots of stuff.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Stuff I used was. Homebase best. For porcelain tiles. Good stuff.

[Rick Hughes]

I wouldn't .... use separates. ... and don't use 'free adhesive & grout' offers ...they don't give away good stuff.
