    Default Polymer fortified cement based adhesive question

    Hi there,
    This type of adhesive has been used by mistake in a pool and it isn't suitable for permanently submerged areas, does anyone know what the impact will be? The pool is salt water, will that also make a difference?

    I'm hoping that the adhesive won't fail immediately (if at all) and may even last a few years.

    Thanks

    This has been resolved...if interested the advice given s to start over again.

    The adhesive is not suitable at all; whilst sealing the tiles and/or using an epoxy grout is still too risky. I'll be buying new mosaics and removing the tiles. My new problem is removing all the adhesive
