Has anyone successfully put in a tub surround over ceramic tile? I'm concerned with a couple things.
First of all, the surround manufacturer doesn't recommend it because the adhesive might cause the surround to soften or melt. They depend on a porous surface, like wallboard, to let the solvents dissipate. But I wonder about using Liquid Nail for tub surrounds. Their instructions on the tube say it's OK for ceramic tile. Do they have a different formula?
The other thing is adhesion. Just because the tube says it's OK, they also say to roughen up glossy paint. Tiles are pretty glossy, but sandpaper won't roughen that up at all.
So any thoughts would be most appreciated.
