A friggin life saver!!
So I did a fair amount of research on this product and watched a few YouTube videos. I see the reviews are mixed and I don’t understand why. Backstory: I recently remodeled our kitchen laying down 12x24 tile which comes with a curvature in the middle from the manufacturing process. I’ve never laid this size tile before so needless to say it fought me pretty hard especially because our sub floor was far from level. I did my best to ensure I left no air pockets while I installed them. While walking one day I heard a loud pop and nearly puked, I dropped to the floor and saw the grout was separating from the tile. So I began knocking on all of each tile to discover 3 tiles with hollow centers. Of course the affected tiles are in the center of the room and thought after all that work I now have to start carving out tile. I frantically began googling and found this product. On to the install, firstly, you need to take the time to determine where the air pocket is, locate the most likely path from the grout line to the air pocket. I then drilled the two holes into the grout (as the instructions state) and began pumping the adhesive. I found after a bit it began coming out of the install hole and not the second hole, meaning it wasn’t getting everywhere it needed to within the air pocket. I drilled a third hole and pumped more, eventually it began seeping out of the third hole, success. The most important thing is that you are careful when you drill so as not to penetrate the subfloor or you’ll just be dropping adhesive right through into your crawl or basement. The best way to avoid this is to take your drill bit and mark the depth from a spare piece of your tile, I used painters tape. I put a buddy bucket filled with water on the tile for 24hrs and now it’s solid as a rock. I cannot say enough about this product, it can be a messy process but cleans up easily and is a small price to pay for such a miracle. I know this was long but I know I wanted to know as much as possible about it before I tried. I hope this helped.

fixed my problem
I had a couple tile that were coming loose from the floor, they were still 3/4 attached but the edge that was coming up was going to crack at some point causing way more trouble. this product is very thin and gets everywhere but it has to be to get into the thin gap you are filling. the tip could be a bit more sturdy but it did the job. My tiles are attached and I'm happy.

Works as advertised
This stuff works well, as far as I can tell. I followed the instructions and now the tiles in question are solid sounding, instead of hollow. And there is no more crackling sound when they are walked on. Time will tell how long it lasts, but I would estimate it will last as long as the original adhesive was designed and intended to last.Now, here are some things you NEED to know, since they are NOT mentioned on the label/instructions:1. Shake each tube to mix the contents. No telling how long they have been sitting and whether any separation of ingredients has occurred. Why take chances with adhesion and drying? Remember, this is a thick liquid, so temperature matters. If the tube is under about 65 degrees the product will not flow as freely. And it probably won't mix when you shake the tube. You should feel the liquid shifting in the tube when you shake it. Submerge the tube in warm water for a few minutes to warm-up cold contents.2. You MUST unscrew the nozzle and put a hole in the tube FIRST, before trying to squeeze the contents out (see images). I used the masonry bit I used to drill the holes in my grout. And you must ALSO cut the nozzle (or poke a hole in it for very narrow grout lines) to the size that will fit the holes you drill. I don't know why this isn't mentioned in the instructions, but I suspect a lot of guys are having tubes exploding out the back-end like I almost did. I had cut the nozzle, but didn't realize that it unscrewed and that a hole must be put in the tube itself.3. Keep in mind that you are compressing a two inch tube that is pressing its contents out of the small hole you put into it and then into an even smaller nozzle tip. It is EASY to over-squeeze the caulk gun, while expecting the material to be flowing freely into each hole. Patience is the key. Soft, slow squeezes on the gun. And then waiting for the material to flow. And even then, expect some leakage at the back of the tubes and at the front. A rag and bucket of warm water helps to clean up the gun and tube for the next use.4. This may be obvious, but before you drill, tap around the perimeter of each tile. Only drill where the tile sounds hollow right up to the grout line. Hollowness next to the grout line should mean that the material will flow into a hole drilled there and under the tile. If it's not hollow right next to the grout line, don't bother drilling a hole, even if it's hollow two inches in. The original adhesive will probably block the Fix a Floor from flowing into that area. And you'll have waste and a mess.Hope this helps. Good luck!

Works well
We had multiple loose tiles and this worked well. Make sure you have an appropriate caulk gun, bucket of water and a sponge or you will have a mess on your hands. Do small areas and clean as you go. This stuff dries quickly on exposed areas like the surface of your floor. Weighing the tile down after application is essential to get the best adherence.

Challenging application with mixed resu
We applied the product to a few hollow areas under tiles, and while it worked on a few, there are several which still sound hollow.

This will help you!!!
So I have tried 4 tubes of this stuff so far. The first was a mess and absolute chaos. I tried to use the supplied needle attachment and the tube busted out the back and leaked everywhere. The needle clogged constantly.For the second tube I used the normal caulking tip provided and just cut off the very edge of the tip. This worked 1000% better.Squeeze slow and you will feel the resistance when the hole is full. Have all of your holes predrilled so that you can move from one to the next. This stuff will run when removed from the hole so have wet rag handy. You will lose some product but no where near what you would lose trying to use the needle. I used 5 gallon buckets filled with water for weight and that’s it. Easy peasy. Hopefully this saves you some frustration as the product does do what it says, just needs some different steps.
