Transcript:
Are you tired of having to do this, shake your glue bottle to get the glue down to the tip where you need it? Well, here's a holder that'll keep the glue ready to go, when you are.
First we will choose drill bits or hole saws that are slightly larger than the necks of the glue bottles. Then we'll drill our holes, one for each glue bottle we want to hold in the rack.
Now, the necks of our glue bottles are a little bit longer than the thickness of this piece of wood, so now we're going to put a couple of feet on. Add a couple of legs and you're rocking the glue bottles and you've got the perfect storage rack?
Thanks for watching!

About 15 years ago, I wanted to put 4 1/4 tile over formica and nobody told me I couldn't so I did it. Degreased formica, sanded w/ 60 grit palm sander, use tile glue, installed tile w/ 1/4" seams, grouted. It's been 15 years, no problems.

@paulbriggs3072 7 месяцев назад

You could do it by sanding the laminate, applying two-part epoxy, sprinkling dry sand onto the wet epoxy, and then sweeping and vacuuming the dry sand up the next morning. The epoxy sticks to the laminate, and the sand, while the mortar will stick to the sand like sandstone. Another person in the comments got the mortar to stick to the sanded laminate. Possibly using polymer improved mortar.

All i did to my wooden window seals base, with silicone. Move with heat and cold, keeps from coming up. I put the silicone on the bottom of the tile and the window base, and set it wiggle some and bang it down good. Then i turn around and grouted it. Made it looked AWESOME👍 Only way to get the tile off is break it off, with a chisel. i did all my window base this way, Now going to do counter tops the same way LOT FASTER less Messy> I will never use mortar ever again.

To minimize the grout joints, you can also use larger format tiles or stone-- 12x12, etc. There are many types of bullnose trim you can use. The size of the joint can be smaller as well. The grout joints should all be sealed. Good video!

@joejones2847 5 лет назад

I saw a countertop that was tiled over with ceramic tile and they had a wood Edge so you didn't have to spend loads of money on bullnose trim

@Rikkcas 2 года назад

@@joejones2847 in 42 years in the trades the biggest complaint we saw with tile or stone installs was about grout joints. In tile, masonry, and terrazzo installations, because they can stain. As John Q said, it is one of, if not the weakest links. And yah.. all tile does not have to be sealed. Of course. It’s optional. Ceramic tile has a resistant surface. But some stone tile can be porous and can easily absorb a spill. So does unsealed concrete tile and slabs if unsealed. Red wine and such can stain light colored grout very easily if it’s not wiped up quickly. Kitchen acids can etch the grout too. It definitely doesn’t hurt for some homeowners who don’t do proper maintenance.. just saying. Nobody likes call backs for any reason. Minimizing any return visits to fix something is better for any savvy installer’s profit line. Suggesting it to a customer as an option isn’t a bad idea, especially if you explain the possible problems of poor maintenance. Having them sign off that you told them in your contract, and they declined, isn’t a bad idea either. Not everybody listens, so if you have to go back to remove stains or seal, they already signed off. You can reasonably charge for your time and service with minimal argument that way. Or else you’re doing work for free when you go back. Obviously you can use any size tile. (>etc.

@marezeedo 2 года назад

Love this video! Thus maybe my answer to my problem. We bought IKEA cabinets about 15 yrs ago. The cabinets are fiberboard with sort of a plastic or vinyl coating ontop. Over the years, it has small nicks in it and looks awful. Will your paper work on this application? I was worried about moisture from your glue seeping into these holes & causing the fiberboard to swell. Also, where do we get this paper? I’ve been to Lowes and local tile store and they’ve never heard of it. I would so appreciate any info you may have for my dilemma. Marlyn from California

@gageschultz6019 5 лет назад

You don't need a mallet just collapse your trowel lines like so many don't and you'll have a more solid job. You don't want air pockets especially with floor applications. Nice invention though I like it.

@joejones2847 5 лет назад

Ace S the trowel lines are the purpose of using a notched trowel. It allows your tile to float a little and you to mash them so to speak until they are all even. Making it solid with no lines as you say means it will sit at the same level or not level as the surface under them.

@paulwolf3302 4 месяца назад

This is what I'm going to do. I used Rustoleum on my formica countertops and the results were not good. It stayed tacky for months and months, is very water absorbant and always looks water stained, and has a lot of chips in it after only about six months. You can get nice porcelain tiles for a dollar a square foot if you shop around. The large format 2x2 foot tiles are the perfect size for a kitchen countertop. I haven't figured out how to do the edges yet. Maybe putting a piece on the side that is a little bit higher, would work to trap the water on the surface, if that's important. I think I can skip the adhesive and paper you used. Hopefully the mortar will stick to Rustoleum. If not, this whole project won't cost more than $100 and I can just tear it all out if I later decide I really wanted a single piece of stone, which costs thousands of dollars for someone else to make and install.
