Re: Can you tile over tile?
I put handmade mosaic tiles a year ago and it sticks. I created small line and made an inside border because design My wife insisted so i had no choise. Nevertheless, i have no bad feelings to recommend silicone as a method to place one on another.

Most people opt for this option now days. It helps to avoid the huge job of tearing out the old tiles.

Well, I agree with the most of the replies here also if you installed it anyway, new tiles would deteriorate soon and it will be more expensive to install new tiles later again.

- My Pool: I am wanting to til over my old tile around the top of the pool, the old tile is about 40 years old and has no more shine to it and no color, its down to it looks like concrete, what kind of sealer or silicone would work after it dries under water, I have drained the pool under the tile line and have let the old tile dry out for 2 days
re: tile over tile, what brand or kind of silicone

I used clear silicone but only a thin layer not to get in the way of the new grout, This was done 8 years ago and I don't see any problems. When the grout was compleat even I can't see the difference.
