Default 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.

http://www.ehow.com/how_2072068_repl...ool-tiles.html gives an alternative adhesive

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.
