In this guide, we’ll explore how to effectively repair swimming pool tiles using Novagard Swimming Pool Tile Adhesives and Grouts.
Novagard Pool and Spa Tile Adhesive is a single-component glue designed for bathroom, swimming pool, and spa installations.

- Application: Install the adhesive tube in a Ratcheting Caulking Gun for Novagard Tile Adhesive and Grout Tubes CG9, apply Novagard tile adhesive glue onto the substrate.
- Tile Placement: Press the tiles firmly onto the adhesive, using tile spacers to maintain even gaps.
- Final Touch: Once cured, use a damp sponge to clean off excess adhesive for a neat finish.
- Curing: Allow the adhesive to cure for 24-48 hours, ensuring a rubber-like solid bond.
Installation Notes: Work with a small area at a time, and avoid using this adhesive below the waterline on tiles less than 3″ x 3″.
