Liquid nails marble and granite adhesive12/27/2023 If you plan to do a big project you may want to invest in an electric or air powered caulk gun because, as I type this, my hands are killing me and my project was pretty smallħ. This is to clean off excess grout after it starts to set.Ħ. The Pre-mixed is available in many colors and is easy to work with even if it is a bit more expensive.ĥ. I got some pre-mixed grout because I hate mixing the stuff, it is a really fine dust that goes everywhere and makes a mess. It will also help to keep the grout from flaking out and getting dust everywhere.Ĥ. Grout sealer, so the grout areas are easy to clean later in life. Actually, all of this stuff came from Lowe's.ģ. I read on some online forums that this stuff will not stain through. That point is very important, most general or heavy duty construction adhesives contain oils that will eventually seep through surfaces and make the surface look weird. I used Liquid Nails Marble and Granite Adhesive because it will work on wood and tile and it DOES NOT STAIN. If you are going to tile something that isn't custom built for a tile project, use some 60-grit sandpaper to rough it up because a rough surface will generally grip better than a smooth one.Ģ. ![]() If you notice the part I am going to tile is plain old 3/4" unsanded plywood. A table or similar flat surface that you want to tile. If you got that reference, give yourself a pat on the back, you deserve it. That may come in later instructables, but I am way more likely to say things like: "Sub-creatures! Gozer the Gozerian, Gozer the Destructor, Volguus Zildrohar, the Traveller has come! Choose and perish!" and so on. This is A WAY to do this project, it is by no means THE WAY.

You don't have to use coasters on tile, which is why I did this on the coffee table You don't even need to do a coffee table, you can be as ambitious as you want. I built the table depicted in this instructable, but you DON'T have to make your own! You can do this with any old coffee table that needs a new life.Ģ. Spoiler alert, didn't use the tile saw for this project.ġ. I figured that it would be an easy project, a small project, and would look great. So earlier this year I decided that I should not have a tool go unused, so I decided to make a tile top coffee table. At some point I bought a tile saw for about $84 and it worked very well, I would not have been able to complete that project without it. In the end it came out pretty good, but bent over in the Georgia sun mixing mortar and cutting tile wasn't very fun. ![]() I will probably never do a project like that again. I tiled my patio in 2011, and I absolutely hated the entire experience.
