What else can I help you with?
Can you lay ceramic tiles on a wood floor if so what adhesive do we use?
Yes you can, but there are requirements & considerations. The sub floor must be solid, If you walk through the room & the dishes in the cupboard rattle, the floor is not solid enough... Total thickness should be at least 1 1/4 inches & solid!!! you also have to keep in mind how heavy Tile & thin-set are. a good size kitchen floor adds over a TON to your floor & the load the walls & foundation has to carry... If that floor is flexing, the tile is moving & well break, crack & crack the grout out... the wood should be clean & free of finishes & wax, a little roughness/ texture is even a good thing. The thin-set is mortar mixed with water and while the wood will soak up the water it will soon evaporate off & should not cause buckling.. lay out the floor with a chalk line & square from the center & work outward a few feet at a time and that keeps the humidity down too. Don't use adhesives on Ceramic tile, it is not as permanent as the tile & will not provide the "bed" to set the tile into...
Does a vacuum work on tiled floors?
Yes a vacuum works very well on tile floors, just set it on the floor setting. I always vacuum my tile floors before I wash or mop them. The vacuum picks up the loose dirt and and hair from the floor, and it makes it much easier to mop and clean.
Does super glue work on rubber?
Super glue sticks to pretty much anything, but once set it is rigid and cannot bend to accommodate deformations of its substrate; for this reason, it may not work very well or last very long when used on a flexible rubber item. Super glue is sometimes used for temporary applications, where all it needs to do is hold two pieces together until a more permanent adhesive can set or cure.
Why are plastic articles available in all possible shapes and sizes?
The clue is in the name. Plastic means 'shapeable'. When they are first made these substances are soft enough to be squeezed out like toothpaste, flow into moulds with intricate shapes, rolled into thin sheets and be stamped into shapes like trays. When they cool they set in the new shape. Some set permanently and these are thermosetting substances such as we use for worktops. Others regain their plasticity when they are reheated carefully and we call them thermoplastics. Polythene is a familiar thermoplastic.

Can you tile over wallpaper?
If you are thinking of Ceramic or porcelain tile the quick answer is NO!! The moisture in the adhesive/thin set will likely make the wallpaper release at the worst possible time. It needs to come off & the substrate needs roughed up a bit to give the thin set something to mechanically bond to. If this is a wet area like a shower or tub surround DRYWALL is a NO NO too, should be green board.
