Perspex sheet to tiles
Hi guys I’m putting a Perspex sheet over wall tiles and wondered if anyone could recommend a non solvent adhesive to use as I know on most adhesives it says one of the surfaces must be porous?? Please help

Re: Perspex sheet to tiles
We had to do the same in a rental property and the adhesive was supplied as part of the deal and it was similar to this https://www.toolstation.com/soudal-fix- ... 0ml/p84704
It is quite thick to squeeze out so you will need a decent caulking gun like this https://www.toolstation.com/cox-powerfl ... gun/p66651
And don’t be mean with the adhesive!!
And for what it’s worth , 2 tips
1. Measure twice ( at least ) and cut once
2. Offer the panels up for a dry fit before applying adhesive

Re: Perspex sheet to tiles
Coz if it had been clear or translucent then the sealants linked to above would have shown through.bgatty68 wrote:Wine o it’s black why

Should be, personally I'd use CT1 or Geocel the works (Both available in clear) but those are just my prefered adhesives.bgatty68 wrote:Wine o so you think it should be ok?

Re: Perspex sheet to tiles
If you have concerns about the adhesive showing through ( it shouldn’t ) then use something like this

And the data sheet

Re: Perspex sheet to tiles
I really would just recommend a bog standard silicone for this. It sticks well to tiles and perspex but could be removed if you needed to in the future without damage.
