I need to re-set some veritcal tiles on a built in BBQ unit. They are porcelain tiles. In terms of an adhesive, can someone recommend a pre-mixed product (smaller job)?
Also, is there a difference between thin set and mastic? Is one preferred over the other for these vertical tiles that need a little more help in staying put?
Thanks,....any help is appreciated....

If you only have a couple of tiles to fix you can us caulking. (silicone, liquid nails etc)

use versabond thinset. I don't know if it comes in a small bag or not..... I have a small amount left ina bag, should I fax it to you ? :D
It's possible that home depot might have a quart container of premix thinset. I know they have it in a grout...

Yes :D I'd only use mastic indoors on a wall... not too good with water... Thinset will long outlast it..

Home Depot carries a premixed thinset in 1 gal containers. I've used it a few times on small little patch jobs and has worked quite well.
