    Can I use this glue to glue up drop in ceiling
    ByJul 20, 2025
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    Ceilume Ceiling Tile Adhesive is only suitable for installing glue-up ceiling tiles to a smooth, sound substrate. Not all drop in ceiling tiles can be glued to a ceiling. HomeDepot.com's listings for Ceilume's ceiling tiles state one of 3 installation types: Lay-In (these tiles can ONLY be installed in a suspended ceiling grid), Lay-in or Glue-up (can be glued to a ceiling or installed in a suspended ceiling grid), and Glue-Up (can ONLY be glued to a ceiling - they can not be installed in a suspended ceiling grid). Give Ceilume a call at 800-557-0654 with any questions. We're here Monday - Friday from 6:00 am - 4:30 pm PST.

      How many tubes to cover 540 square feet of tile
      ByOct 25, 2023
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      You should be able to install 6 ceiling tiles with a single 9 oz tube of Ceilume Ceiling Tile Adhesive. 540 sq ft works out to about 135 ceiling tiles. 135 divided by 6 = 22.5 Tubes of adhesive so 4 cases will give you a little extra "just in case".

            And how long does it take to grip it so it would stay up
            ByApr 18, 2020
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            For your application of 12 x 12 interlocking tiles being attached to wooden slats, we'd suggest a standard construction adhesive. Consult with the Adhesive Pros at your local Home Depot store for the best construction adhesive for this installation.

                      Do i need a caulk gun to apply the tube or can i do it by hand?

                      Answer This Question

                      You will need a caulking gun for the Ceilume Ceiling Tile adhesive.

                      By|Feb 25, 2019

                        Yes, you need a standard size caulk gun for using these. Watch out, if the adhesive gets to the outside edges of your tiles, the caulk will dry and be visible.

                        By|Feb 27, 2019

                          If you're buying ceiling tile adhesive in the 10.1 oz cartridges than you will need the gun.. it's cheap and easy to use..

                          By|Feb 27, 2019

                            Yes, you will need a caulk gun. Good luck with your project.

                            By|Feb 26, 2019

                              yes

                                We're concerned to hear that you had issues with Ceilume's Ceiling Tile Adhesive. We've spent quite a bit of time and effort verifying that the adhesive formula works as intended with Ceilume's vinyl tiles and a smooth, sound substrate. We'd like to hear more about the issues that you encountered and the specific of your installation (temperature in project area, temperature of adhesive, surface you are applying the tiles to, etc). Please give Ceilume a call at 800-557-0654 to discuss your installation. We're here Monday - Friday from 7:00 am - 4:30 pm PST. Ceilume

                                Have to use alot on one tile tubes don't go very far when doing a average size ceiling . The price of this is expensive using it the way they call for. The delivery of this product took longer then it should have, home depot gave all kind of excuses, disappointing

                                I have used this product in the past. It was thicker and did the job as expected. This stuff I used today was runny and would not grip anything. We even taped a tile to the ceiling and after 25mins , it let go and fell to the ground. Guess they decided to leave out some chemicals to save a buck.

                                Hi Blah4blah, we'd like to hear more about your exeperience with Ceilume's Ceiling Tile Adhesive. You've used the product before and things went as expected. The formula hasn't changed so no bucks were saved, but somethign was different because your results changed. Temperature of the adhesive, temperature in the installation area, and differences in the temperature of the adhesive vs the ceiling tiles can all effect curing time and adhesion. Please give Ceilume a call at 877-492-5605 to discuss your installation in more detail. Ceilume
