(The walls they were applied to were dry)
ThanksDo floor and wall tiles absorb Adhesive?
there are some adhesive that are used with a latex mixture which will stop the adhesive from actually soaking into the tiles itself. Plus, if you used an old adhesive (sometimes got from the store shelf) that will have condensation (water) inside of the container and that will cause you to apply water to the backs of the tiles. This should dry up, (in the front of the tiles) but if not you may need to pull a few off to replace some. You can do this after grouting, just to make sure the tiles do fade back into color. Of course, not if the entire job is like the affected ones. Then it's other project. Good luck!!!Do floor and wall tiles absorb Adhesive?
all tiles are baked to dry them there is always a little porosity on the back side and some moisture will raise to the surface but within a few days it will dry
They sometimes absorb moisture from the adhesive. Some tiles I have used absorbed moisture and could be seen from the front. The adhesive dried out as it soaked into the wall material sealing the moisture between the dried wall area and the glazed tile surface. Several years later it had still not dried.
So yes absorption happens and maybe it will dry out.
I might also add since I don't know what kind of tile it is, if it is marble and not a glazed tile it could be spots caused if vinegar was used.
The adhesive is supposed to be troweled on with a special notched trowel for this type of adhesive. You probably slobbered on far too much adhesive. There may be solvents in the adhesive that are affecting the tile, and once this evaporates the tile might return to normal.
