Can you put tile on previosly set tile. if so what are the negatives?
You CAN place tile over tile, but saying you can put tile over tile is like saying you CAN jump off of a bridge. It's just simply not a good idea. It can cause air pockets to be created under the tile laid on top, which can lead to cracked tiles if anything is dropped on them or sometimes simply by walking on them. It's worth the time to go ahead and strip the tile off of the floor before laying any new tile.

It would be better to remove the old tile, then put your new tile in it's place. If you tile over the old there is a chance it could come off and your new tile with it.

All the internet websites carry it and it looks great, it would stick right over the old tile, this could get you by until your ready to remove the old tile.

Sure can, but if its waxed tile you should rough it up unless there's a chance its got asbestos in it. Then use a primer sealer over that top to give the glue something to bind to.
