Hey everyone! I recently tackled my first flooring project by using 'ACRYLPRO Professional tile adhesive' to redo my half bath floor. It's been about a week, and I still haven't grouted it. I just came across a post that claims this premixed adhesive isn't very reliable. I used small 2" hexagon tiles that it's supposedly designed for, but I'm worried about them popping up down the line. A family member suggested sealing it with clear epoxy once I grout it, but I really want to avoid ripping it all out. Any advice or tips would be super helpful!

Honestly, a lot of people have mixed feelings about the premixed stuff. If your base was solid and you didn't see any issues when laying the tiles, don’t panic yet! Just make sure to grout well and consider sealing it afterward, but don't jump to epoxy unless necessary.
The base you're working on is just as crucial as the tile itself. If your substrate is solid and you didn't have any tiles popping up prior, you might be okay. Using a coat over the top isn't always the solution if the base is weak. Just keep an eye on it after you grout!
Totally agree! As long as everything is laid down correctly, you should be good. Just make sure to keep it level and smooth before grouting. You've got this!
Yeah, exactly! Wait and see how the grout cures and whether you notice any movement before adding anything else.
