Muscle Bound works well on a perfectly flat wall. Be sure there is no dust or film on the back of the tiles before you lightly stick them up. I’ll use rubbing alcohol on a lint free rag to be sure. Must be dry to stick to the adhesive. Once you are happy with placement you must press hard to activate the adhesive. Slight gaps can be filled out with a second layer of adhesive sheeting. Once pressed firmly the tiles are never coming off. I use a laminate roller and my body weight or if a bumpy tile a press down with a towel. The wall would have to come off along with the tile.

Thin set will certainly work, but for a kitchen backsplash, I'd use mastic. The tiles won't sag and it's much easier to work with. But in wet applications such as a bathroom, then thin set is the way to go.

Absolutely Beautiful ❤

[@angelaw3592]

We used the same stuff 3 years ago. It went up like a dream, we could reposition if needed. Still as beautiful as day 1.

[@MostermindTech]

Been thinking about a backsplash for months now. These rolls might just make it happen. Thank you!

[@bsdetector4325]

They are garbage use magic

[@mikecuntala9675]

Don’t use this. They make premix mastic that works great and doesn’t take any longer

[@mekmilly84]

Some of y’all in these comments sound bitter and jealous! Some even bringing up the next homeowners. This is what they choose to put in their home while they are living there. Stop with the negativity! It looks great… if it falls just fix it and keep going. Smdh

[@gikichi9462]

I hire guys they are from Mexico for my tiles for my granite counter kitchen for all kinds of upgrade and I have never found not even a company that they pay attention to detail and they do as you want not as the company wants it.

[@migueljackson7487]

i feel like regular mortor wouldve been easier then messing with a big sticker lol

[@icu1585]

Gonna fall off in about a month one block every 3 days lol 🤣

[@glenfry5871]

Wrong. It hold too well. The only downside is the inability to adjust the tile.

[@DeborahAnnSiefer]

You need to take your ad or your video clip and send it to the company and ask them about advertising their product. That you did for your own purpose but it makes a great advertisement I can tell you that much because I’m impressed with it that I have thought about doing something like that myself but didn’t even know it was out there so thank you for the information on it.

[@josephwall9161]

I used this over 5 years ago and have had no problems. Except that when I installed it I leaned against it by accident and almost couldn’t get my hand off it was so sticky.

[@lifeofohh]

If my husband brought home a roll of stickers to do our tile project...😂

[@Jsuttar]

Looks terrible sorry

[@rossclark9155]

Those are a style. Modern take on boring subway tiles with wobbly surface & roundish edges. I had them installed.

[@Jsuttar]

@@rossclark9155 😂 modern take on laziness

[@julietteoscaralphanovember2223]

Yeah, but not because of the adhesive, its the tile, its that wavy kind and I don't like it either

[@ALL4SCUBA05]

3 years later and not one loose tile.

[@dawnquintero3428]

This works and it will not fall off its waterproof and once the grout is on it permant

[@archerpro137]

I'm starting my backsplash installation company because of you. Thanks

[@hrekkah1g]

i've used that sticky mat. tiled a backsplash over 15 years ago and have had no problems at all.

[@billchessell8213]

Helpful, informative, concise. Thanks!

[@maddie9185]

That’s good for people who are not very handy and or don’t have a large budget for their project.

[@mslmisbless9583]

Beautiful

[@deniserhodes4464]

New cabinet doors are much needed. The white, simple, wavy tile is a perfect choice

[@tirdkat6104]

"Better be wasteful and throw away perfectly good doors because they don't fit exactly into the current fad" Then in 15 years the ones you just replaced will also need to be thrown away to keep up with the current fad" I never understood people like you....

[@shortstuff9652]

It would be great if you could update us in a while how it’s holding up

[@stillmatic03]

Or not holding up 😂🤣

[@wendydawn4375]

I really like that product demonstration.....it really helped them get their boring Basic design into place.. Thanks 👍

[@christopherwilliams5775]

I am so glad that I learned about these comments.

[@roderickfernandez5382]

You could have done it for $8.79 if you use contact paper. You did make the right choice and it's beautiful

[@roxanneclarke9180]

Looks ok, especially if you plan on going with trends and change backslash again in a few years.

[@YourChoiceHomeSupplies]

Love the look

[@hersheyphillips5084]

Looks great 👍

[@ninja1antelope]

Note, this double sided adhesive ONLY works if you have a relatively level substrate… so if you’re trying to hade horrible drywall jobs- this won’t hide it….

[@angiehutson4317]

Wow! Looks great

[@BevSunflower]

wow! amazing!

[@cher280z]

Very beautiful! Love the clean white tile with your white cabinets. Looks rich!

[@myrnagonzalez8748]

Love it. Thank you for sharing

[@whatyoucan.whereyouare]

We used it in our bathroom over a year ago. If you apply it following the directions it lasts.

[@guhbe385]

Maybe with brand new sheet rock you'd have a shot. After ripping down existing back splash this will look like a bad DIY uneven. The mastic thinset ect allows you to float each and keep them flat / level with each other

[@mirahgirl01]

The only thing I'd recommend is to always always always primer the drywall brown paper if you ever see it. It needs a coat to not peel and flake off so easily. The weight will peel ot over time. You may not ever have issues but just to be safe always if you see brown paper prime it. You can buy primer can and spray it to be quicker. Especially kn drywall patches. It will get wet and bubble immediately.

[@madmachanicest9955]

Look I like the adhesive it's not half bad especially for just doing something decorative but if you want something that's actually going to last and something that will actually add value to your house you have to do it the hard way

[@kellyhill430]

Tile setter here for 30 years. Maybe if you have little experience spreading mastic it will be faster for DIY but I can spread that area in about 8 mins
