Need Recommendation for Reaffixing Small Pool Tile

[Michael1]

Hi have a small pool tile, about the size of a quarter coin that fell off just above the water line. I was wondering what people recommend to glue it back on permanently. I scanned the forum, and there were several suggestions to other people. Let me know what you think is best, or your suggestion for another alternative.

I have to make a note of what they say to use. I keep forgetting so have put the call out for anyone that knows to step in and let you know.

Since its just one tile above the water line you would be fine with a Urethane construction adhesive.

I have had good success with Loctite PL.

Just use a small amount and stick it back on. You can use a piece of painters or duct tape to keep it in place until it sets which should be less than 2 hours hours.
Also wipe the area with a rag to get any excess glue.

You can re grout if needed.

You could also use a thin set tile adheasive designed for under water applications.

I have had excellent results with Ladicrete 257. You can get it at Dal tile stores, but not sure if they have small bags.

PS I could mail you some as I have an open bag if you send me a PM but may take a few days to get it out as I will be traveling tomorrow am.

^^^^^^ Good product but expensive. I think a tube of Liquid Nails to glue the tile would work and (if you need it) some white silicone caulk to "grout".
