Best adhesive for re-applying cork tiles
I installed a cork floor a few years ago and now a few tiles are loose. I thought I had adequately cleaned the concrete subfloor before installation, but I guess not. When things fail like this, I’m usually crazy enough to rip it out and redo it, but 90% of these tiles seem to be fine.
So what’s the best miracle adhesive to use here? How much should I use? I have thought of some of the obvious options, but I’m wondering if anyone has any experiences like this. Thanks in advance.

DIY here but have done 8 cork tile floors in my two houses. My tiles were preglued then a water based urethane was rolled on the floor and the tiles adhered to that. They've been down for >6 years.
One closet was done with 3M spray adhesive. 77 I believe but I dont have the can in front of me. I used that because I didn't have any of the original manufacturer's material at the time. This was done over ply though, not concrete.
YMMV
I would stroll the aisle in the flooring section and take your reading glasses
I've got an Uncle-in-Law who installs flooring and wall applications for the elevator business. He swears by water based contact cement.
