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.
there 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.
Vinyl 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.
Most 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.
Mapei vinyl mastic, lots of variety in stores.
Vinyl Wallpaper Adhesive. I know Zinsser makes it, and there are other brands.
A vinyl mastic. Many available, but I think Mapei Ecobond is one of the best. Available in Home Depot.
Clear silicone.
Yes, you can use wax.
There are many glues specifically for Vinyl tile in hardware and lumber stores.
Not directly as the ceramic tiles will soon show through the vinyl flooring. If the ceramics are laid on a wooden floor, you must take up the tiles and overboard with 6mm plywood. If the tiles are on a concrete floor, you can leave them down and lay a latex screed on top to provide you with a smooth floor for your vinyl
Epoxy will do this .
That would depend on whether they are ceramic tiles or more vinyl tiles.
No, it wouldn't work as Gorilla Glue swells. It would be better to use vinyl tile glue or spray contact cement
There is special vinyl glue for that. Available in Walmart and possibly other stores.
I wouldn't do it. Tar paper between subfloor and finish floor is a good technique, but gluing tiles directly to a tar paper surface is not a good idea.
What is the weight of Vinyl Floor tiles per m2
Use a flexible vinyl cement. RH Products HH 66.
you don't its animal cruelty (super glue works)
NO. Because they are vinyl, they will expand and contract at a different rate than grout, which is essentially concrete. You are supposed to lay vinyl tiles tightly together, with no gaps in between.
