No, unless you are using extremely inexpensive tile. Self stick tile do best when an adhesive primer is applied to a clean, dry sub floor. After the install is complete, you need to use a 100 lb roller. The glue is not completely excreted from the tile until this is done.

∙ 11y agothere are many different types of tile adhesives I prefer to use a good Bulldog Tile Adhesive-- it's like buying a gallon of Liquid Nails.
spread it out with a nothched trowel-- spread some on the tile-- wait 15 minutes and then mate them together-- The bond is like an instantaneous marriage that the devil can't pull apart -so make sure you set it in the right position the first time because you may not get a second chance to move the piece.
ANS 2 - I prefer to use Mapei ECO 711 for vinyl tile . You get 2-3 minutes working time with this and it sticks incredibly well.

∙ 11y agoVinyl glues vary...a lot. Most of them vary because the materials on the backing of vinyls are often different. You want to get a glue that will not break down the backing and cause the vinyl to lift or separate from the backing material, but also hold well to the metal.
Do NOT use a standard, water-based vinyl glue. It will cause the metal to rust, and possibly destroy the integrity of the bond. Standard vinyl glues rely on the substrate to breathe and evaporate the water generated as they dry.
My recommendation would be a thick (yet spreadable) neoprene contact adhesive. There are several manufacturers of such a material. This will give the best results and unparalleled holding power.

∙ 9y agoMost professional tile installers use an asphalt based emulsion adhesive. This is great for applications where you have high traffic and don't want any movement that you tend to get with the stick on vinyl tiles. My personal opinion on stick on tiles is that you are wasting your money as they always separate and move.
