  |  Highly sculpted concrete tiles...what adhesive should I use? I'm looking for advice on what to use as an adhesive for some highly sculpted artistic tiles that I am ordering. They are heavy and I don't want to blow the adhesive. The company that makes them is Urban Renaissance Sculpted Stone Tile. Have any of you used them? Sygrid |

| Re: Highly sculpted concrete tiles...what adhesive should I use? Never used them but it would help if you knew what the actual stone was and what substrate you are fixing to. Then we can probably help  Kev |

| Re: Highly sculpted concrete tiles...what adhesive should I use? If they are stone, it may be better to prime the rear of them 1st before fixing, and use strong powdered adhesives. Stone also should have an impregnator sealer applied to resist staining, and help the grout cleaning process....Gaz |
