The whole ceiling does NOT need replaced, only where some were damaged due to roof issues when it rained. This building was built over 50 years ago and the tiles were installed then. The new tiles do not match to interlock and we cannot find any that will. How do we get the first tiles to stick to the ceiling. We have used liquid nails and other adhesives that were supposed to be instantly stuck (( which were not)) Any Suggestions? I told him to sand the back of the tiles since they are so smooth. To give them something for the glue to grab on to....but im just a woman and dont know any better apparenlty and it wasnt a good idea. SOOO im looking for suggestions. Thanks.
