Can I Use Thin Set to Glue Swimming Pool Tiles?
One question that many pool owners have pertains to the feasibility of using thin set mortar to glue ceramic tiles to the inside and surrounding areas of pools. Thin set cement mortar is recommended for a superior bond between the base and tiles. However, in it’s original state, thin set mortar is not suitable for underwater use. Waterproofing must be done before and after installation of the tiles to prevent damage to the pool and cementing bond.
