Contractor Mags: Alternative to mastic?
We had our kitchen renovated a couple years ago with granite tiles and bullnose as a cheaper alternative to solid granite countertops. Since having it done, at least 10 bullnose pieces have fallen off - some with a lot of force and some with hardly any at all. Rather than having the same people return to use the same shit and have it fall off again, what are some good alternative adhesives? Best ways to hold it in place while it cures?

I don't do a lot of tile/stone work so take with a grain of salt, but mortar or thinset are probably the best bet. Or you could go for the ghetto fix - some PL premium and blue tape to hold in place till it cures.

Two part Bondo. A friend of mine that does tile recommended it for the exact situation as yours. That was five years ago and I haven't had any problems since.

Teh PL Premium will do it well, make sure to remove as much of the mastic as possible and get a roll of painters tape to hold the tiles till the goo sets.
