I'm obviously going to get the Homebase stuff again - but what's wrong
with the Wicks product? Stored past its best or just no good? And do I
just take it back and complain?

Luckily not one tile was damaged by falling 6 ft or so.

I wouldn't buy any of these shed products - they are too variable and
not of good quality.

It would be well worthwhile calling the technical help line of Ardex
and giving them details of the substrates and the tiles.

The Homebase stuff seems just fine. I decided to re-do one bit after
changing my mind on the tile layout - it's a very odd shaped room - and
those tiles which had been up for about three days removed the skim from
the plaster - which was about 20 years old. Can't really ask for a
stronger adhesive. Took some removing from the tiles too.
