Tile looks great Mike it really matches that stain nicely! Are you placing some sort of transition between the tile and the carpet?

StirCrazy 01-31-2011 03:07 PM

hey Mike, looks good, what were you using to stick the tile to the floor?

Its the Acrylic pro adhesive I have been using it ever since I have been tiling, Its just like mortar, but adhere's faster and betterto work with IME, dont get me wrong I use mortar ,but if I can use that i will.

Hmm.. never heard of it. just thought it looked more like mastic and was hoping it wasnt. I'll have to look up that stuff. how is it for filling iregulatities in the surface?

never mind, I just looked it up and it is mastic. wrong stuff for floor tiles man, hopefully it works good for you as it is a small area.

this is right from the instructions
"Do not use in critical water exposure areas"

this is the problem with mastics, they get soft again when they get wet, and take forever to dry as they need O2 to cure, hence why there not recomended for areas that can get wet.

I have been using this for a very long time, thanks however yuou have to let it harden and then its pretty much rock solid. you can use it in the bathrooms you can't use it on the floor where there is water all the time. the maker states it can be in a bathroom , you just need to unsure you seal the grout lines and its its softer tile you need to seal both sides.....

Is there any grout you can use in high moisture areas?? Especially saltwater....moisture? I have watched a number of builds, yours looks great by the way, and either concrete with a sealer and drain, or I suppose a good quality lino seem to be the more frequent choice. I am very much a flooring dummy when it comes to what should or should not be done so I am wondering why you chose tile versus ______? Or is there a sealer you could put over tile to make it waterproof or at the very least, very water resistant?
