Hello,

Have one or two ceramic tiles in the hall that have become loose.

No problem in finding a good grout for the seams where they ajoin other
tiles, but would appreciate some suggestions as to a good "glue" or adhesive
for the bottoms.

I guess one criteria would be that it should be quite thin, so that the
tiles does not stick up above its neighbor.

Epoxy ?

Or,... ?

Thanks,
Bob

If it is only a few, you might be able to get away with some silicone
caulk.

Just a thought.

You might be able to get away with duct tape too. However,
I think thinset would be a better bet.

Yes, but with duct tape all around, he won't need grout.
