WTF?

I've heard alot of people in my area have put down floor tiles on laminate with Silicon!

When I've asked some guys jokingly if they'd ever done that a few did say YES!:whatchutalkingabout

I once met a man who claimed, among other things, to be a tiler. One of the other things he claimed was that Silicon was much superior as ADHESIVE than regular cement based addy... I asked him what he based that assertion on, and he replied, smugly I might add, that he'd seen "Silicon being used to set tiles with in public bath houses", and that "they used it to grout as well"......

I told him "dude, you're thinking of epoxy; it's not the same thing", but he was adamant. He even called me ignorant :mad2:

Some tilers around here use Silicon when they are forced to replace individual tiles, because they're too lazy to mix proper adhesive. Sure, the tile will remain stuck if it's not disturbed too much, but lemme tell you; tiles set with Silicon come off REAL easy when you're called in to do the ensuing insurance job.

I'm terribly sorry, but I only understood the "Swe you are probably right for thinking he was crazy" part 🙂
