Recommend a glue for hardwood to tile contact?

Why do you need to remove the tile later? Hot melt?

The mastic used to glue tile to underlayment might work. NOT the grout sold as mastic and grout, the pure adhesive without fillers.

I think the newer latex-based mastics are not as sticky as the older petroleum-based mastics, but they might work.

A heat gun or solvent would probably soften it, but I'd think that either would also work on liquid nails.

My reasoning for wanting to avoid construction adhesive is "just in case" for down the road... in case the tile needs to be replaced, or the transition piece needs to be repaired, etc. In a pinch I don't think it'd kill me to use something as permanent as liquid nails, I'd just rather take it back a couple of notches so that it's a firm hold but still removable if needed.

Why not use trim screws?

Trim screws?

I don't see how that'd work, though I don't claim to be knowledgable on tile issues. The screws would be fine going through the the iroko, but wouldn't that either crack the tile or just not hold? I should have mentioned, the tiles are on top of concrete, so there's no plywood or CDX subfloor or anything like that...

What ever you would normally use to attach the tile to a wooden subfloor.
