    Hi
    I'm wondering if tec7 would stick a few tiles that fell off in the shower cubicle
    The grout is damp and I can't take the shower out of comission for too long drying it out?
    Thanks for any help

    Yes tec 7 will do the job. You are still better off removing the tiles and leave to dry for a few days.

    I have them removed

    Do you mean the tec7 will work better with a few days drying? How much drying would it need for regular tile adhesive?

    Bone dry ideally. Take off the tiles. Use something like a fan heater at a safe distance from the wet wall for a few hours at least. Tech 7 claims to work on wet surfaces but in reality dry surfaces are the best

    What would be the best way to apply the tec7 after drying?
    Does tile adhesive need a lot more drying out

    Using a silicone gun. A few blobs each corner and the middle should do. Not sure about adhesive but I think it has to be totally dry

    With cold water I would say it will be fine but would hot water not cause problems in that it will expand it?

    Use a decent gun too... that stuff is very thick and the super cheap guns will break before you finish the job.


    Also.... its messy if you're not very careful!

    Duct tape is pretty effective in wet conditions. Stick a bit of plastic sheet over the area missing tiles, duct taping 3 sides and leaving the bottom open and pulled a little away from the wall. Area will dry naturally

    I've used tec7 for tiling before with no issues

    (I've got a band of duct tape running around the tile/bath joint in my bathroom a couple of months now - not having gotten around to grouting. It's a shower in bath situation and gets drowned everyday, yet the duct tape is still holding fast as well as the day I stuck it up. Great stuff that..)
