we had trouble during our first try with an enclosure, simmilar to
where you are now.
we used construction adhesive per the instructions and it didn't stick
to itself, no problem sticking to the wall or the enclosure, but
seperated against itself, maybe I put it on too thick, but it sure
didn't seam very thick.
We didn't even try to remove and save it, thats when we found out how
easy tile was, I would never use an enclosure now.
