LP Gas Bottle Tourch

[carlyai]

I have a couple of loose outside tiles that I want to re-glue.

I see on some videos that you scrape out the tile grout and then heat the tile with a blow tourch, remove it, then apply a trail of silicon and replace the tile.

I have an LP gas bottle and want to buy a gas line and blow tourch.

There are many on Lazada. Anyone used one and has a recommended unit to buy?

Thanks.

They will not have glue, they are set in cement. If a floor tile is "loose" it has lost its adhesion with the cement, rake out the grout, and it should lift out. Give the cement a good scrape, even chip some out and put the tile back with cement, not silicone, as that does not dry sold....

Yes that's what I would do but saw a Youtube video that removed the tile then layed down a bead of what looked like silicon, then stuck the tile back down. 

If I used that method I wouldn't have to hammer out the under tile concrete to replace with new concrete. 

If the tile is still stuck a bit after removing the grout, heating the tile to expand it may save from breaking the tile. Looked good on the video.

If you use that method you will have gaps under the tile, and it will crack with any load, the wet mix of cement will cover the whole tile base....

This a standard one.
