Adhesive For Holding A Ceramic Tile To Floor ?
 

Hello,

Have one or two ceramic tiles in the hall that have become loose.

No problem in finding a good grout for the seams where they ajoin other
tiles, but would appreciate some suggestions as to a good "glue" or adhesive
for the bottoms.

I guess one criteria would be that it should be quite thin, so that the
tiles does not stick up above its neighbor.

Epoxy ?

Or,... ?

Thanks,
Bob

If it is only a few, you might be able to get away with some silicone
caulk.

Just a thought.

You might be able to get away with duct tape too. However,
I think thinset would be a better bet.

Yes, but with duct tape all around, he won't need grout.

Bob,
I would assume you are talking about floor tiles. If this is the case
the ONLY way to go is thinset.
Don't try to do half-ass job. Clean the grout and thinset under the
tiles carefully
clean old thinset underneath with chisel and put new tile on thinset.
If you want you can use spacers.


LOL on duct tape.

What has always worked for me is Phenoseal adhesive calking--Home Depot or
Lowes. It has never failed to secure any two things together.

I reglued a loose floor tile with silicone a couple of years ago, it has
held fast.

I would think thinset is a better bet too, but I happen to have a
partial bag lying around most of the time. If he has two loose tiles,
why should be buy a bag of thinset, a proper trowel to put it on, and
possibly something to mix it up in?
