    Hi,

     We have a spa that is attached to our (shockrete/plaster) inground pool, and we have tiles along the top edge of the spa.  Some of these tiles have loosened over the last several years (pool is about 5 years old now) and when we opened this year, one of them fell out.  The tiles are approx. 1"x1" and I think they originally came in kind of sheets.

     We tried to re-set some loose tiles last year, using various sanded grout and adhesives from Lowes/Home Depot, because none of the pool supply stores around here could recommend anything specific, but it seems like that didn't work very well, so I was wondering what specific adhesives/sanded grouts others have used successfully to do this? 

    Thanks, Jim

    Well, I know this an old query but someone else might just need this same product.  I have found and used a product called Novagard.  They have a product for adhering tiles and one for the grout.  Each comes in caulking tubes.  My last location for the product was  Han Crete Products, San Diego CA 619-492-1394.  Novagard Mfg. ,at my last finding,  was in Las Vegas and Cleveland.
