By creating a kitchen trivet, George Vondriska demonstrates a simple woodworking tip for adhering ceramic tile to a piece of wood. He recommends applying a coat of HiPURformer Advanced Bonding System to the underside of the tile substrate. After the hot glue cools, it will keep the tile and wood together up to a temperature of about 280 degrees.

Looks fantastic. I wonder if we can do the same thing with the cold silicone instead

Hot glue 4 corners silicone the middle. For side panels the hot glue will bond quickly as the other dry slowly.

I am now told tile on wood would crack over time due to different expansion/contraction rates etc. Not sure if that is true.

Would you recommend this for a living room wood floor (10’ x 20’) to lay ceramic tiles on then grout?

What can I find at Home Depot?
I’m a pottery artist and need a good glue to glue unglazed stoneware to wood

high temp silicone is easyer and HIGH TEMP... you can take a pan out of a 450deg oven and set it on a trivet glued with high tem silicone with no problems...nice video tho...

I have painted ceramic tiles I want to adhere to wood and hang on the wall as art. Will this method work while it is hanging perpendicular to the floor?

So what was the wood glue you used????

Titebond is a really great product line, but will it stick to my stool?

Just use wood glue man. The tile is rough enough to join much stronger than over rated hot glue. You buy kits to fix a loose tile, guess what. Ponal makes that kit. 100% cheap wood glue. Works perfectly.

That's great, but the nearest hardware store is an hour away. I want to glue tile onto a shelf. I have E6000 and 527 at my house.

silicone is better, this plastic glue is not good for tile
