Great tutorial! Am about to install brick slips for the first time, so your tips have really helped.

[@HomeProHero]

Happy I could help! Good luck with the project!

Great job mate and well explained

[@HomeProHero]

Thanks for watching!

You only did this in your house couple of times and it looks like you've been doing this for 40 years. Man are you a quick learner 😁

[@HomeProHero]

Thx! It's really no that hard. Looks hard but is one of the easiest things I have done!

[@lynnmacdonald4800]

Really nice!!

[@HomeProHero]

Thank you! Cheers!

If you were doing this for the backing to a woodstove, would you still recommend using liquid nails and not mortar. Fire code for this particular stove doesn’t require any heat protection, but it will make me feel better if I do the brick veneer. The stove will be a about 8” away

[@HomeProHero]

Boy if the stove doesn't require any heat protection i would assume that it doesn't produce a bunch of heat to the rear. I would still go with the liqiud nails. But you right if the wall needed protection i woul,d go with mortar. Hope this helps

The back isn’t gonna get hot Jesus guys, and thinset is always gonna be better than liquid nail UNLESS!!!! You renovate once a decade. It will be way easier to get off, matter of fact it may fall off after a decade😂😂 I’ve been a tile setter for 25 years and we also do brick pavers, thin brick n marble

Regarding how you worked out your spacing from side to side, i would do that top to bottom too; you may end up needing a juat sliver on the last row. Great looking job!

[@HomeProHero]

Thanks for watching! That would make me cut twice which is the worse part. I had a lot of different ways I could go with trim but got pretty lucky on that last row. Take csrr

[@Eric-wb4li]

Great work. Would this same method work on an outdoor cinder block fireplace? With the glue and then grout mortar? Or would a traditional mortar application be better?

[@HomeProHero]

That's a good question! I think it will work if you use liquid nails landscape or any adhesive for outdoor mason work. The bricks and mortar are the same as u see on homes!

[@Eric-wb4li]

@@HomeProHero wasn’t sure if the glue would hold up outside to the moisture and elements, but I guess once the grout is applied it becomes basically weatherproof?

[@HomeProHero]

That landscape liquid nails is used regularly here in Indiana for bonding retaining wall blocks. I think it works!

[@lesliejuban5601]

What adhesive did you use?

[@HomeProHero]

Just Liquid Nails. You can get it at lowes or Home Depot. Thx for watching

[@Wasouglian]

Gorilla glue makes a similar product that is for stone and brick that I’ve done outdoor backsplashes and also for granite tile countertops edges and haven’t had any come off.

[@CVStressPA]

Do you know if this can be installed directly on a sheetrock and plaster wall with that adhesive for a kitchen backsplash? Is there any prep work required, like cement board or another substrate?

[@HomeProHero]

Thx for watching. Yea for sure it can be installed as a backsplash. In this video I did it on regular Sheetrock/drywall

[@CVStressPA]

Thanks for the response! Will it adhere to plaster or do I have to scrape it?

[@HomeProHero]

No clue I have never dealt with plaster but you could stick ons let it dry for 24hrs and if it's hard to remove you are good. I bet it will!

[@thejedds7476]

Would you have to seal it as a backsplash? Or at least give it a water resistant coating?

[@HomeProHero]

Could be sealed with standard tile grout sealer to prevent staining from food spatter but may not be even needed. Thanks for watching!

[@Skullman7487]

The pros don’t glue them 😂😂😂, thinset city boy

[@HomeProHero]

Yeah it's overkill and the mixing and cleanup sucks! This works just fine! Take care son

[@Skullman7487]

@@HomeProHeroson, I’m older than you and a professional. I do this for a living not for views on KZbin boy

[@HomeProHero]

The old school way works. Just better ways of doing it in today's world. Product and methods change but it's ok keep doing what you are doing!

[@leave.me.be.]

Nice job but you shouldn't have painted them black. Natural is way nicer

[@HomeProHero]

Thx for watching. We really like it goes well with the decor in the room! Take care
