Wow, just beautiful. I am sooooo glad I found your video as I am able to tile an insert on my kitchen island top that has a raised border and I did not want to go thru the trouble of mixing up thinset to apply only 12 - 12 x 12 tiles. I initially removed the existing tile and noticed that they were glue on and thought to myself that I might could use some power grab to these tiles. Today I decided to see if anyone on RU-vid did the same and your video was the first thing I show,, What a relief. Now I can continue my project as planned, Thanks so much for posting this, New Subscriber..
Thanks so much for watching. Glad you found this easy solution. Ours is still holding up nice and strong. I check it every so often just to be sure I am not putting good information out there. Hope it goes well for you.
Like 108💫 Way Cool Joel on The Loctite Power Grab..Thanks I’ll Be Doing Sumthing Like That and Didn’t Want to Get Krazy With The Mud on The Cinder Block Wall.. Cool Music With The Wet Saw Action - Looks Great👋🤠HeeHawww
I have been tiling counter backsplashes for years using PL200 construction adhesive. Cheap, clean, and fast. A true DIY hack. One time I had to take off a tile the next day that had slipped a spacer. It came off in thumbnail-sized pieces. That settles the does it stick comments.
how big are the tile you did a friend is doing mine with PL Premium but my tiles are 17x26 before they are cut and I'm worried it's nor enough but I'm not sure parts of my wall are way out of square so in places we have to add a lot to make up the gap.
@@jameslong1644 Mainly 3x6 subway tiles but I have done 12x18 with no issues Look at it this way. Thinset works on a 1-inch mosaic just as well as 24x48. I keep my beads of adhesive a couple inches apart. Do the same on a large format tile and I pity the person that has to strip them off the wall in the future. One disadvantage is the tile has to be dry for this to work. That leaves out a wet saw unless you let the tile dry completely. I apply the adhesive on the tile and not the wall. Keep the beads away from the edge and cleanup is a snap. Let me know how it goes.
James Sang I believe that it will. This stuff grabs and holds well. Be sure to put more adhesive if the tile is uneven so it has enough to grab in any imperfections. thanks for watching.
So I have a tile of 45cmx45cm I want to stick to the wall Anouck a shelf . These tiles I have are heavier /thicker than the ones I see you have used, as they can also be used as floor tiles -do you think the loctite will be strong enough? So happy I found your video!
I do believe the loctite will hold. It is best if the tiles are touching each other to help with sagging while they set up but once it dries it holds tight.
Very nice. I installed the same exact tile for a buddy recently but had to install a 1/4" sheet of drywall beforehand. Seems like you found a good shortcut with time and money👍
Hey Joel! Great work. I am considering trying this on a wall in an RV since cement board and mortar may crack with all the vibration and bumps. Its purely cosmetic. Have you tried to tug off one of the tiles after this time to see if they hold? You think this would work on a painted steel wall?
Thanks for watching Alex. Double check the label when you go to purchase just to be sure it will hold on painted steel. I believe it will, it is really good stuff to use. You might want to space the tiles with a thin piece of carboard when using them in an RV just to give them a tiny bit of room to move without rubbing on each others edges. Good luck and would love to hear how it turns out.
I haven't experienced this. There isn't any movement on this cabinet but I could see that happening on a floor where the tiles could have slight movement. Great question.
Is it even possible to grout it using this method without it getting very messy? I'm really interested in doing this on a 5 x 4 wall, but I wanted to grout it.
@@hacmia8708 I'm not sure the Loctite offers the rigid backing that mastic or a cementeous product would give. If you use a grout that has a little bit of flex (polymer) to it I'm sure you would be fine. My tiles aren't going anywhere and are a solid as the day I installed them still. Hope this helps and would love to see your finished product.
I used that same Lock Tite to add 2 shelves in the shower. They lasted about 2 months and then my tenant called and said one of them fell down and the other shelf felt loose. I'm not sure why it didn't last very long, and I'm unsure if I should try to use the same thing to reinstall the shelves.
I'm not so sure this is the best product for in a shower being so wet. The glue may not have had a chance to grab the surface being bonded to due to that. You may want to use a tile mastic designed for wet locations for that installation. Surface prep is important for proper adhesion though so be sure that surface is dry and clean, etc. Thanks for watching.
@@joelongrid7625 I could hear you but I mean you sounded very distant like you weren't close enough to the mic. I had to turn the volume way up which would blast my eardrums on other videos.
