Putting tile on ceiling

Jan 02, 2007 6 Replies

I recently installed a range hood and my wife would like for me to put tiles under the hood. Can anyone tell me how to install the tiles without gravity taking over. I have tried to find that new glue that is suppose to stick instantly (it's in a caulk gun) but nobody knows what I am talking about (You know, the one when the guy is trying to sleep and his neighbor is pounding nails into wainscotting and he takes his hammer, applies the glue and sticks it to the ceiling.) Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks Jeff


Depending on the weight of the tile, most tiles will stick to the average adhesive...

Are they really big and heavy?

I put them up all the time. Multi purpose mastic is all we use. Just did 13X13's in a bathorrom, floor wawls and ceilings. Thinset for floors mastic the rest.
