I recently installed a range hood and my wife would like for me to put tiles
under the hood. Can anyone tell me how to install the tiles without gravity
taking over. I have tried to find that new glue that is suppose to stick
instantly (it's in a caulk gun) but nobody knows what I am talking about
(You know, the one when the guy is trying to sleep and his neighbor is
pounding nails into wainscotting and he takes his hammer, applies the glue
and sticks it to the ceiling.) Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff

Depending on the weight of the tile, most tiles will stick to the average
adhesive...

Are they really big and heavy?

I put tile on the ceiling of a bathroom w/o any problems. The tiles will
move a little for adjusting the spacers but in a few minutes it's on for
good. What I used was from a tile store. Something called ProBond I think.
Unfortunately it was only available in 40# bags. About $35.00. Just add
water. Maybe you could get something like that at Home Depot / Lowes etc in
a smaller quantity.
