I have a restaurant that wants me to attach another layer of quarry tile on top of an existing tile (speed bumb) so the carts stop banging in to the walls.

I thought if I grind notches in the exsiting tile I mite get the new tile to stick.

any thoughts on this would be helpfull

I've done it before in commercial kitchens. Steam clean/degrease the existing floor first and you should be just fine. Thinset on tile is approved.

AND I AGREE THAT IT SHOULD BE CLEANED THOROUGHLY..
EPOXY PRIMER HELPS TREMENDOUSLY.. AFTER THE CLEANING..
BUT THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION, I WOULD CHECK WITH DAL-TILE FIRST. OR SOMEONE WHO KNOWS FOR SURE. WE USE EPOXY PRIMER FOR INSTALLING ALL TYPES OF FLOORING OVER MANY OTHER HARD SURFACES TO HELP WITH THE BONDING.
GOOD LUCK
