Tile adhesive, by streetgirl on Dec 12, 2007 11:20:59 GMT 1, Quick heads up needed. What's the best (and most convenient) adhesive to use if putting together a piece of art using tiles. Also what is the best thickness of backboard to use?
Thanks in advance.

But there are like 10,000 multipurpose glues out there. Anything that is designed to hold masonry, wood, plastic, glass, etc is good to go.
You can just back it on a hefty sheet of plywood (dig some scratches into it first, though, so the glue can get in there).

Finally, it can't hurt to build a tiny supportive frame around the finished work or even just a supportive piece of metal or wood at the bottom to help hold the tiles' weight.
Good luck! Hope it turns out well.
