I was thinking about fusing Uro noodles to the back of some kitchen tiles just to make sure they have enough "tooth" to adhere well. Overkill? What can I get away with?

Overkill. Fire on a textured surface or sandblast, if you are concerned.

Fire on Fibre Blanket. It creates a rough surface. Great for what your trying to do.Lia

110J with a little kiln wash sprinkled on works great and is quite durable.

Lia, I have some fiber blanket from ceramic days and was wondering if you can slump on or over it, could you explain further. Lyn

Fibre blanket will work for both. You just have to use some caution that it doesn't rip or seperate while you are slumping. It becomes very fragile when it gets hot. The weight of it can cause it to tear while it hot.Hope this helps.Lia

I was considering the noodles because I already am slumping the "front" of the tiles thru cut fiberpaper so cannot simultaneously texture the back. Perhaps I could do something with weights and fiberpaper - a fiber/glass/fiber sandwich.

i think you are worrying way too much about this. are the tiles going in a shower or around a pool or some other place where they will be constantly wet? if not they will stick just fine. you can wet sand them or dry sand them or sandblast if you just are not comfy with smooth backs. rosanna

What glue do you use to adhere tiles to other surfaces?

Vidrio

depends, liquid nails, sikaflex, whatever the tileguy in home depot hands me, and on one occasion, elmers glue for a backsplash in a rental. those were supposed to be easy to remove. not. rosanna
