Cramer A asked:

I just realized I installed my ceramic tile using self leveling cement. Do I have a chance in helll for the tiles staying down? I just went and pulled on one fairly hard on the edge and it did not pop loose. I was sick with the flu when I mixed the cement. I mixed it using the same measurements as the ceramic tile mix, so it was thick. Please tell me the tile will stay put! It was a 500 sq. foot tile job! Done while sick as a dog with 100 degree fever.

Good chance as long as you had a good wet mix, as with any portland mix whether its thinset or concrete leveler, portland is the bonding agent. Most self leveling mixtures are full of additional bonding agents and should therfor bond most any concrete or cementious products.

The true answer is near impervious vs stone or quarry tile larger tiles and as somebody else mentioned your worked quickly placing each tile porcelain is it began to fully cure if youve met tcna standards for backbuttering before placement and as somebody else mentioned.
