I need to know if I can install ceramic tile (in a garage) on a concrete
floor that has previously been coated with several layers of Silicone
Acrylic Concrete Stain. The stain has been removed, but one can still see
that it had been stained.
I am using Ultraflex 2 Tile Mortar with Polymer.

I tiled my kitchen about two years ago. This is a high traffic area in my
home because me, my husband and the kids spend most of our time together in
this area of the house. My problem is the the tiles are starting to look
worn down and faded and i would like to kmow what i can do to put back
shine into my tiles and let it look less faded. If you could also
reccommend what i can do to prevent the fade from occurring in the future
that would be great to. Thanks

Does anyone know where to find a 2 part clear marine epoxy? All the 2 part
epoxy syringes I have found dry to a translucent yellow.

i'm 2/3rds of the way through this process on badly chipped tile. the first
coat of finishing paint was too light so i just repainted. looks pretty
good, but i just realized this second can of finishing paint is acrylic,
not oil. the primer was oil based, as was the first coat of paint. it's the
final coat only that is acrylic. will this still work? it's lots of chips
so it's a lot of work to do a 3rd time. thanks.

You can find 2 part marine epoxy at most marine supply stores. Ask them
about the epoxy used for coating fishing pole wraps. This is high end
expensive stuff and may not be worth the price if you're only repairing 1-2
tiles. But it won't turn yellow.

Hi there,
A large chip came of my ceramic floor tile (kitchen). Is it possible to
glue it back on?

I have the same problem with a glazed tile as Marieke above.
Is it possibleto glue back a large chip that has come off. I have tried
using Loctite super glue but it won't bond.
Thanks

On small chip used jell crazy glue rather then epoxy - a lot easier to get.

My white ceramic tiles have a lot of scratches. Can you please tell me what
to do to cover the scratches.
Thank you.

I have a glazed ceramic bisque floor. The surface has an irregular finished
(i.e. not smooth). The glazing on one of the tiles, (approx 24" x 36") in
front of my door to the deck is completely worn off due to high traffic
over the years. I have search and search for a way to reseal the tile but
haven't found a product yet. When I wash it with water it looks better but
as soon as it drys it looks bad again. Is there anything I can put on it to
reseal it? Every title, ceramic, or paint store I talk to has no idea.

West Marine has a product called Marine-tex. It is a white epoxy that can
be used for this purpose. If you need a shiny surface, cover it with wax
paper while it cures. Marine-tex also has a tinting kit so you can match
the color of your tile.

Try Ceramifix Tile Touch up Paint, you can find it on Amazon.com. I used
it on my floors that settled and cracked across my kitchen. It takes only
a small amount and I rubbed it over the crack, let it dry, then wiped the
extra away with a damp paper towel. Lots of color choices too. Good luck.
