Peel & Stick Backsplashes: 2 SECRETS to Success

You look like Gary Owen lol

Just stick them and put a transparent glass backsplash on top.

OMGosh so glad I found this site. Hung 8 tiles peel & stick and they are trying to lift! I washed may walls with rubbing alcohol,,,, but seriously I NOW know gorilla glue adhesive construction will work. Thank you so much!!!!!!

Could you use this application for a shower surround on top of and existing flat plastic surround?

What are those things called on the ends of the peel and stick tiles?

The peeling stick you are using is from Dollar tree? Because I've used peel and stick as a backsplash for two years now and it hasn't fallen off.

Did he just say the magic bullet? Lol not sure what a magic bullet is, but I know where my mind went. Lol

did u use gorilla glue on the edging?

Yeah, they look pretty cool and convincing but they are trash.

It’s not hard to find flashing or stainless to cut out and have just stainless, you can do plexiglass that can be wiped down easily

Tile is difficult and without a tile counter a tile backsplash is it appropriate either?

As crappy as it sounds, the linoleum is a good product in the right applications, but consider what the purposes are, backsplash is for where things can splash it could get hot things will get on it exposed to a variety of things with different PH temp all

Realistically, the best backsplash would be some sort of metal that can easily be wiped down without a texture that can harbor bacteria

But also certain types of wood could be nice as well. There’s a level of creativity, but it’s hard to tell what’s gonna go with what I mean I’m surprised our backsplash is aren’t all LED screens.

Does the Gorilla Glue withstand the Texas heat?

Do you feel like using the muscle bound sheets under the peel & stick tile would make a difference?

How long did you wait after applying the glue to the tile?

Super 77 spray adhesive has worked best for me but you gotta be quick.

should have used the stove tile all the way across

So you can use peel and stick tile on texture walls as long as you have the gorilla glue or good adhesive?

Oh you should have stayed with one pattern. Thanks for the info though.. but maybe leave the design choices to your wife lol…

The brand you buy play a big role on the quality
We have Smart Tiles brand, it's been almost 4 years and it's still holding fine, even those behind/around stove where it's "hotter"
Also Smart Tile brand don't use epoxy base solution so the resin doesn't become yellow over time

When the time comes to remove them for a different solution what is the best way to get all that Gorilla Glue residue off the wall?

Would have been wonderful if you would have shown how you applied the glue.

Kind of surprised you don't use a Jerry Rig Everything razor knife. He does some DIY stuff as well different level of stuff but bet you 2 could collab something

These DIY tiles are not as simple as they make it look. And they can run in the hundreds of dollars for a small normal sized kitchen space. After I struggled with the application, my vote is 👎

Another good fix for another perennial problem! I can hardly wait to see the next one.

that's defiantly tacky.

Maybe 3M VHB tape?

They have peel and stick metal tiles too

How was the adhesive applied?

We appreciate you showing you failures on here but don't try to pass it off as a win!!!

I love Gorilla products. I used their white construction adhesive to repair a knife block that, after 40 years, came apart near the base. It was easy to use and I let the block sit for 24 hours before moving it - I knew next to nothing when I did this and didn't even clamp it. Nearly five years later it's still holding strong.

Looks cheap and plastic like. I’d stay away from that

That combination of tiling is not very attractive. Looks like a bad jigsaw puzzle. I would have just use that stove top tile all around the area. I just since its an RV you don't really care but I wouldn't do it that way.

sticky tiles on wallpaper? thats a no-go,no wonder they dont stick,i would have removed the wallpaper,sticking on wood is no problem,i would have roughened up the sufaces,like you said,when you stick these over existing tiles,then remove the shine with sandpaper and the sticky tiles will stick so much better

This is an excellent video! I think you have solved a lot of problems for many people.

😂That looks like a mess. The bottom was so uneven. Not sure it was worth the time.😢

for the adhesive, do you think contact cement could work?

Why not do the whole thing with the heat resistant? Then they all match.

I'd love to see an update at 5he end of the season.🤔

oooof, that was a weird combo. the close ups of the 'tile' show so many alignment imperfections. would drive me nuts. lol

I’ll pass on not sticky tiles

Why is there a chair rail in that small space ? I would have just removed it first. Makes no sense. Also I would just buy some spray adhesive for added adhesion. And to the left of the stove I would not put tiles there just paint that paneling to match the other walls. And t having two types of tiles does not look tight, Just cover the whole area with the more durable ones. It is a small area

Wow, I am lucky and happy I watched this. I have already tiled my kitchen 2 years ago with that. Only temp till we get the rest of the house done. I have not had an issue with them, thankfully. We will be buying a camper soon and I will probably use these in there permanently. Now that I know this I will definitely use gorilla glue since those walls are a different texture. Great video.

3m makes a pre glue that you paint on and it keeps adhesives from sticking. We use it in the auto industry with 3m double sided tape and velcros. I've had it peel off paint before the sticky pad came off.

Called 3m tape primer.

Thank you for the wonderful content!
