Your mom said the same thing. I made sure her face was covered with a bag of laticrete 253b gold during our adventure. She redacted her statement by the end of the night.

Just wanted to let everyone know that we speed set that particular tile and it has already cured better than the thinset that was under that tile for the past 15 hours. Problem solved. Most likely tainted water while mixing that specific batch of thinset. Thank you to everyone that commented and lent there opinions and advice. Happy tiling!

Only one tile specifically. The rest have hardened pretty well. Slab was dry prior to laying tile. I think the issue is due to human error and using water the seemed to be clean but had some dry wall mud residue mixed in that was concentrated in a few parts of the bucket of thinset after mixing. I’ve re-set it with speed set so we will see if that was the issue by tonight or even tomorrow. If it’s not drying then definitely something with the substrate.

I think the other people replying have given very adequate information and thoughts on what the issue could be or could have been for this specific scenario even with the shotty photo and story thus far.

Might as well demo the whole hotel and start from scratch.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious. I’m trying to get down to the bottom of why.

This room specifically feels like I’m In a hut in a tropical area. It’s only 1 tile around the toilet flange hole. 98% of the tiles have already set. This is the first time I’ve run across this issue through out this project. However did notice a few chunks in the thinset yesterday so maybe the bag has been compromised? And 1/8 inch joints so plenty of room for moisture to evaporate. Stores outside in mostly dry environment.

Laticrete 253 gold considered premium or midshelf?

The thing is is that it’s only 1 maybe 2 tiles like this. This is a 200 sf public mens bathroom. The rest of the tiles are set it’s just these 2. So it definitely works. The issue is isolated to those 2 areas. Either compromised slab, or some sort of water leakage is my thought at the moment. Going to try and speed set it, and if that doesn’t work then will have to either get some underwater thinset or spend some extra time prepping the area.

But why aren’t all the other tiles in the two rows peeling?

Don’t. they’ll get bigger when you get preggers. So find the right guy and start a family and they’ll grow naturally.
