How to fix a broken deck tile?

[susi]

Hi all. I have a broken tile on my outdoor deck step after having the entrance widened.  I tried to fix it with no more nails but that didn't work. What should I use? And is there a cover I could put over the step edge, how would I fix that in place without drilling? Thanks in advance.

Hello @susi 

Thanks for sharing your question about your broken tile. I suggest removing the broken pieces and removing all the old adhesive that was attached to it. I also recommend cleaning the surface of the area where there are any leftover adhesive. I propose using a Trojan 5x15 Row Stainless Steel Wire Brush to strip the broken tile and surface of adhesive and debris. 

When both sides are totally clean, I recommend using Selleys 290ml Liquid Nails Instant Hold Construction Adhesive. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor use
plus, it is UV, heat and water resistant. Please make sure to follow application instructions.

Please make sure to use personal protection such as gloves and goggles when working on your repiars.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
