Yes, I know it's marginal. It's lasted 15 years.........barely..........but, the problems are beginning to surface. My hope was the mastic would allow movement of the floor without causing the tiles to crack or dislodge from the floor. It's quite flexible. But, getting it to dry...............
If they'll dry, I'm preparing to fully grout the floor again............and I bet I can get another 15 years out of it.
