A fast-setting magnesium phosphate one-component adhesive/grout is used to bond tiles, e.g. ceramic tiles, to a substrate, e.g. sheet-rock. The grout comprises an activator prepared by e.g., mixing diatomaceous earth with at least a sufficient amount of an ammonium phosphate solution to form a paste then heating the paste to coat the pores of the diatomaceous earth and result in a dry solid which is then milled to yield the activator, magnesium oxide, diammonium phosphate, boric acid, and sufficient water to form a paste. This grout is applied to the surfaces to be bonded which are then brought together to form a composite which is allowed to set at ambient temperatures forming a durable bond in about three hours.
