Can you remove excess grout on slate tile after sealer has been applied?

I am currently working on this problem myself, having waited too long to clean tiles after grouting. We are using steel wool pads and spackle implements to scrape off the excess grout. I thought it might damage the tile but it really has not. It's a tough job, good luck. I am currently working on this problem myself, having waited too long to clean tiles after grouting.

Also a mild solution of sulfumic acid will remove most cement products... available at home depot .


A customer asks you if she can install a new tile floor over an existing tile floor what do you tell her?

Are you the installer or the tile salesperson? If you're the installer then be honest and let her know that you can't do it because you don't know how and she should find someone who can. If you're the tile salesperson you can tell the customer that there are cases in which this is possible. In order for it to be possible the previous tile floor has to be level and stable. But, you cannot make that assurance and the customer should have the floor inspected by a skilled installer. I've been doing home renovation for over 20 years, shortcuts are not the way to do good quality. in my opinion glue will not stick to a glaze finish on a tile and the person who installs tile over tile should find another way to earn a living and stop ripping people off. if they are vinyl tile then they will over time drift moisture from mopping spills and condensation will be trapped between the two layers causing lift and drift. not to mention the warranty on the flooring in either case would become null and void. I'm a ceramic tile installer and the above answers are semi accurate however, you can install ceramic tile directly over ceramic tile. Type 2 thin-set which is latex modified will stick and hold to the glaze finish on tile. Its not ripping ppl off its saving them money. If they want the floor ripped up sure that's the way I would do and that's what I would recommend but it can be done and I have done it many times just to save ppl money. I would also recommend sanding or roughing the surface of the tile before installing the new tile to add a little better bond.

What are the hazards associated with unfired pressure vessels?

An unfired pressure vessel is a container that holds a substance at high pressure, but is not heated from an external heat supply. This might be a pressure tank, such as an air tank. These hold a great deal of mechanical energy, depending on the operating pressures. IF the tank is over pressurized, or fails due to corrosion, damage, etc, the energy contained in the pressurized contents is all released at once, tearing the tank apart, injuring people in the area, and damaging property nearby. One spectacular failure of a liquid nitrogen tank in a university lab cracked the concrete floor, blew tile off the floor in a 20 ft circle (embedding tile into the walls) and blew the tank through the upper floors of the lab into the penthouse, destroying the water pipes for the building.

Will liquid nails bond metal to ceramic tile?

yes the only drawback to liquid nails is it takes forever to dry. Best way. Clean the tile are completely with soap and water and dry off completely. Use something like the Gorilla super tough water proof or Evostik epoxy something of that nature. Make sure that the weight the metal will hold is not to considerable of it might pull at a later date of even take the tile . The tile must be firm and sound. These two products seem to work and have been used frequently. Dont get it on your hands of places where you dont want it . It does really stick well.
