Great video, would appreciate a regular-speed clip showing the grout application next time you do tile to understand the 45 deg angle technique.

[@DIYwithMAX]

Thank you for the suggestion. The 45° angle technique would be similar to you swiping at a Fly but at a 45° angle to the grout lines. I hope that helps.

[@kd-CarvingAway]

looks good

[@DIYwithMAX]

Thank you

[@AVBros37]

Nice job 👍🏼 Did you have any cracking after a few months?

[@DIYwithMAX]

@AvBros37 thank you very much your awesome. Luckily no crackling at all anywhere. The trick of this project is to make the wall as flat as possible, use the correct glass tile mud and do caulk in the seams of the counter the sides and the corners and the tile should not crack on you.

[@problemsulfer]

what tooth size did the trowel have you used?

[@DIYwithMAX]

That all depends on the type of tile you use and the size of it. In my case, my tile was 3 x 6” and I used quarter inch V shape trowel. If you send me the size of the tile you’re installing and what type it is, I can give you a better recommendation if it’s different than mine.

[@alexanderstephens1539]

Do you use a sealer on glass tile

[@DIYwithMAX]

Thank you for the question we did not. The non sanded grout is not very porous so it does not absorb stuff like regular grout. But we do make a point to regularly wipe down the tile with water with few drops of dish soap and it has been holding up really well.

[@izzykingston1602]

Just curious, why dont you use those leveling clips? Are the tiles too small? Or did you make sure the wall was completely flat so that you didn’t need levelers?

[@DIYwithMAX]

Awesome question. Thank you for asking. Originally we wanted to use the leveling clips like we did on the floor. But after doing my research and speaking to few folks that do this for a living they recommended for glass tile like ours less grout is better as there will be less contraction and expansion which could cause the tiles to crack in the future. Not 100% sure how accurate this is but I did now want to take a chance on screwing up a backsplash in my mother-in-law‘s kitchen. So we did the best we could with leveling the wall and used mud specifically designed for glass tile sparingly. This was my second tile job ever. The first one was the floor tile not sure if you saw that video. By this was my first backsplash and my first time tiling without the leveling system which I’m a huge fan of. It was nerve racking in the beginning but after the first few rows it was not so bad and we did really good job making the wall level so the tiles laid down nice and flat. I hope this answers your question. Please let me know if you think of anything else I’m always happy to help.

What tile, color and where was it purchased?

[@DIYwithMAX]

I do you one better here is the link to the Home Depot site where we got it. www.homedepot.com/p/Giorbello-True-Gray-3-in-x-6-in-x-8-mm-Glass-Subway-Tile-5-sq-ft-case-G5928/305195722

[@jerryjohnson2270]

I noticed spacing right off the bat and a bit confused thinking its a new look of subway style layout. if i stare it looks likes steps, anyway looks good and unique.

[@DIYwithMAX]

Thank you for your feedback back. Had to go that route to have nice corner and good size tile around all the outlets. But at the end it all worked out.

[@evasanders50]

how do you install glass tiles that are not straight

[@DIYwithMAX]

Thank you so much for reaching out. I love when you guys ask questions. I’m not quite sure what you mean by your question can you elaborate a bit more. Or email me the picture of the tile at [e-mail] so I can better understand what you mean by not straight.

[@douglaslanglois1043]

Attention to detail 😂 your pattern definitely shows that...

[@DIYwithMAX]

Thanks for noticing. Had to do that to have the best look in the corner where the eye is drawn. Plus it’s berally noticeable to an untrained eye 😂.

[@douglaslanglois1043]

@@DIYwithMAX I've been a tile setter for 18 years. Your layout was poorly done. Next time dry lay all your tile on the floor and mark boxes and corner on your tape and transfer the measurements to the dry lay. It will tell you everything you need to know about exactly where to start. Pattern break sticks out like a sore thumb.

[@DIYwithMAX]

@douglaslanglois1043 thank you for taking the time to share that helpful tip. I’m an IT guy by trade so still have lots to learn about laying tile especially from someone with your years of experience. Any advice is greatly appreciated. It not only helps me but also all the folks trying to figure this out for them selfs. I look forward to your future comments and feedback.

[@DIYwithMAX]

While I have you here what are your thoughts on the special mud for glass tile I got? Is it worth the money or will regular mud work just as well?

[@douglaslanglois1043]

@@DIYwithMAX you absolutely should use a thin set that is formulated for glass tile.

[@hardlymotivates2593]

Your spacing is off.

[@DIYwithMAX]

Good eye. Yeah we had to do that to have good fit around the outlets and for the corner to look good with out very thin slivers but it don’t bother us. Most people don’t even notice.

[@MrknuckleHD]

Well done video.
