Painting Tiles on Outside Door Step?
Question:The Step Tiles become slippy in wet weather, I painted them with Specialist Non Slip Paint but it is peeling off.
Any suggestions PLEASE ?
Answers:
I'm not sure what your tiles are made of, but if they are a fired tile such as ceramic, porcelain, terracotta or other porous material, they may have had moisture in them when you painted them. You should read the preparation section on the can and make sure you follow them as stated. Many require washing the tiles with muratic acid to clean the tile and open the pores so the sealer will stick. You will probably have to remove the sealer and start over following the manufacturer's instruction on the paint can.
Buy the self adhesive strip made for the pupose and put those down.
It were all black lead and elbow grease in my day.
