I have a couple of tiles that have fell off and need to be put back on, what type glue do you apply to make them stick. They fell off due to foundation problems which is now fixed.

Go to Home Depot or Lowes and ask the tile guys or gals there, they will be able to tell you exactly the right type of mud to use, a certain type of thinset designed to be water resistant and for use on vertical surfaces. You'll also need the right grout to finish the job. Let the 'sperts put the products in your hands, then grab a book or check a few DIY websites for how to clean the base wall and install the new tiles.

mastic or "glue" is usually used in applications where tile is going on to a non cementatious material, like wood etc. If the backing is cement in nature, then the best material is a portland cement based product like superflex thinset mortar.
then, you may have some grouting issues around the displaced tile.
I dont know what you mean by "foundation problems", that sounds to me like a cement foundation.
good luck,
John

i would not use a torch. It probably could desire to reason any moisture trapped in the back of the tiles to enhance and then it may reason steam that could desire to pop the tiles off. What i could do is circulate to homestead Depot and purchase Krud Kutter. It softens paint and is quite gentle. Spray on wait slightly and scrub the paint off. As for the caulking there is caulking remover in an analogous area because of the fact the caulk is offered. good luck and effective %.

You may use a tile ''mastic adhesive'' or you could just use any type of caulk you may have. Hold the tile in place with masking tape while the caulk sets up. Finish with a similar colored grout (or again with a similar colored caulk). No one will ever know and caulk is waterproof, grout is not!

Depends on the surface that you are attaching to, and what type of tiles you are applying. Use the adhesive sold at the hardware store that is made for that type of tile.

Use tile adhesive. You can get it in small tubs at a home supply store or a hardware store. Just use a small spatula to spread the adhesive thickly, press the tile in place, and use a damp sponge to wipe off the excess adhesive.

You have a lot of good suggestions, but I've also used Loctite Ultra Bond for tile repairs, with excellent results.

Go to your local hardware store and get some "Mastic". That's what we use to install Ceramic tiles.

Remove old grout, then apply liquid nails, after drying re-grout.
