Majestik Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Re: New look for Green 033 The lower photo also highlights how good my tile ladies are getting. Hi Dennis. This seems like a good place to ask this. I just had to re-tile my mexi-K dome AGAIN this weekend (an incredible pain in the A$$, by the way). At this point I have had to retile 90% of my kamado. Anyway, when I retiled the first time I used an acrylic (?) tile adhesive from Home Depot. I retiled mostly the rear half of my dome 3 years ago. This time, the tiles on the FRONT half were loose and needed to be re-done. Anyway, I noticed that the tiles I re-did myself 3 years ago are ROCK SOLID. They will not budge. (this is true of the base tiles I re-did last year as well). So I needed to pop a couple off during my re-tile, but they would not friggin' come off... had to use a screw driver and work them off slowly with a lot of force. The 3-year old acrylic adhesive has a dense "rubbery" texture and is darn near un-budgeable. The tiles I replaced this time were from the original "factory" tiling... it appears that the adhesive they used was a sandy beige grout-like material. This stuff deteriorates over time and eventually the tiles just slough off like mange. So that's a long winded way of getting to my question: What kind of adhesive do you use when you tile the KKs? Because from what I've seen, the adhesive used by other manufacturers is inadequate for the long haul, whereas the stuff I used for my repairs looks like it will stick for good. Just curious, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curly Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Have you done the entire thing now or is there still a bit of work to look forward to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestik Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Mostly done... It's tiled, grouted... metalwork is painted. But I need to do a burn-in run to bake out any residual moisture, then seal it. Then put in a new "hi-temp silicon" gasket... And clean up all my tools and mess... and THEN it will be ready for the big "reveal". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
