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 |

Thanks, Bob If it is only a few, you might be able to get away with some silicone caulk. Just a thought. JK |

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. |

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? JK |
