Only a BLONDE would ask a tile question to a carpenter. :lol:
Mike, only you would make that observation!!! :lol:
Katrina, get a floor & wall tile adhesive making sure it is for high moisture. Lowe's here has Mapi Type 1 in a small premixed tub. Clean the back of the tile and the area where the tile goes as best you can...beings it's going to be temporary, not too critical. More important, clean all the old grout off the tile and wall where the tile goes. Small tile--6" or less--use a v-notch trial and butter the back of the tile. Larger tile use a 1/4" square notch trial. Use a putty knife and butter the wall just enough to wet the surface--taking off most of the adhesive. Push the tile firmly in place and put some spacers in the bottom grout line to keep the tile from sliding down. Let it dry for 24 hours or their abouts.
Next day, get a tub of premixed grout and a rubber trial. Use the rubber trial to squeeze the grout into the grout line at a 45 to the line. Don't worry about getting the grout on the tiles. Let it dry for about 15-20 minutes, then use a damp sponge to wipe off the excess grout...clean the sponge often in a bucket of water. After the initial cleaning, let it dry for an hour or so, then clean again. Repeat this until the cloudy haze is gone.
Bit of advise when you redo it...use big tile...it will go a lot faster!!!
plastic tile in our shower/tub into town and some of it is coming off. I have about 6 tile that or off.. My question is what do I use to cement it back on till we can redo our shower/tub?
