PeetahPottahWannah Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Suggestions please for a temporary adhesive. I would want to do a temporary tile installation on a hanging wooden backing, strong enough that the tiles did not fall off and then remove the tiles within a week or so.

Chris Campbell Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Clear silicone ( sold as bathroom caulking material ) holds objects well and is fairly easy to remove ... since it stays soft and pliable you can work a blade under it and lift the tiles off. You can apply it thick so it is easier to get at afterwards ... just don't go crazy putting it on so you don't have so much to clean off after.

I have often used industrial velcro. Depending on the weight it works beautifully. K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Richard Notkin uses velcro on his large tile installations also. If the work is light enough then it should work. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
