Q. I've used
Repair Express and it just wouldn't stick the metal dish to my ceramic tile?
A. There are a couple of reasons why Repair Express may not
be working. Here are some tips at improving the likelihood it will work. Firstly,
make sure
that both the dish and the tile are clean, free from grease and dust and thoroughly
dry. If you are in a bathroom, it may help to do the job when you're sure there
isn't a build up of condensation in the room. Secondly, it may help to strap
the dish to the wall with DUCK tape whilst you wait the ten minutes for the
Repair Express to set. Because room conditions vary, the ten minute wait may
need to be extended to 20 mins. Thirdly, don't touch the dish whilst it's drying
or place anything on the dish for 24hrs. If it still isn't working, you may
need to "roughen" up the side of the dish you are adhering to the
wall. Use a piece of wire wool to achieve this. This should help create a key
to which the Repair Express can stick. You may want to do this to the area
that will be hidden on the ceramic tile too. |
