outdoor tile adhesive (cold wx)

Greetings,

We have used silicone caulking with good success in Northern B.C.
where it does get near to 40 below some winters. The silicone
caulking seems to work where others fail. Make sure that there is a
bead of silicone around the edges so moisture cannot get in and do
it's thaw/freeze thing which may eventually pop the piece off.
