You will have tiles cracking and coming up as the adhesive for walls is designed to hold on Vertical surfaces and has no compression strength. The correction would be to remove the tile and if possible clean the adhesive off (hot water will help soften it). You will need to remove at least 95% of the adhesive off the floor. If your floor has the proper sub floor then you will need to use a thin set product. Thin set is a concrete that is made to set ceramic floor tiles.Can you use wall tile adhesive on the floor?
thanks for your input. I laid them on the saturday and took them up on the Sunday. (after every one's advice) the adhesive was still as wet as it was when i laid it. so the answer to my question is a big fat NO!

Are you sure its only for walls? The products I'm familiar with have the dual purpose. Custom Building Products' Acrylpro and Omnigrip are both ready to use adhesives that can be used for both floor and wall. I would double check the manufacture's website for the uses of your product.
all these '; pros '; telling you no ,,,my gawd ......look just see what happens and if it starts to come up just scrape it up with a tile scraper and buy some new stuff and put it down with thin set ( use pre mixed its easier) let it dry for 2 days ,,,,,,yeah yeah it says 24 hours but ive had stuff let go after 24 hours ,so make it 48 .
chalk it up to a well earned experience ,we've all done that and been there before . some will admit it and MOST wont ......be brave and walk on your tile ~!
good luck ,and remember..in life '; lessons'; are repeated
until '; learned ';
Genrally speaking no, floor tile adhesive is a little more flexible so it doesn't crack as your putting weight on it.
You might get away with it but it's a bit of a lottery.
sorry ..it wont work ..im a builder and have seen it before ...but to make it last as long as possible do not get it wet
