Pool Tiles-Please help!
 
Hi all

I have a quick question, I have some pool tiles which keeping coming away from the bottom of my pool, I have been diving down to put them back with a glue called (sabesto-Sellador MS Polimero) I don't know if anyone has heard of it? anyway the tiles last about a month, and then fall off again, has anyone else had this problem, and what do you do, I really want to avoid having to empty my pool.

Make sure your bottom is clean and get someone to stand on your back when you push the tile back on. ;-)

Hi

Use Araldite (rapid is faster). A chunk of metal on top of the tiles will keep the tile in place.

We used to watch the maintenance guys doing it at The Moon Palace in Mexico, that was their full time job. ;-))

This is half the pool....

We got hold of some underwater glue called Mr Sticky. Two part epoxy which is waterproof and will set underwater. Comes in a dual syringe like araldite.

Afraid I have no idea where you can buy it in Spain as we bought a couple of tubes over from the UK with us which we bought by mail order. So I guess you should be able to get it sent here. Google "Mr Sticky underwater" and you'll find it.
