Hi
Need to tile a wall thats always wet. Yes, drying it would be ideal,
no, its not practical.
I've got some of this, would it do the job?

Many years ago, I had to tile a wall in a steam room. Other people had
tried various tiling
adhesives, and they all failed.
I stripped off all the old tiles, pva'd the wall and used swimming
pool tile adhesive (cement based)
and swimming pool grout.
It did the job.

But in a steam room the moisture is on the tile side, not coming from
behind them. In the latter case I don't think one stands a chance in
hell of getting tiles to stick
I agree.
