    to save time on the corners you can cut a full sheet in half. use each half as the srarter for the same corner. the you dont have to work with small detatched tiles.

    Very Good Job Sal! You gave me confidence as a woman to do this on my own!! Great step by step instructions!! I have one question though. When doing the corners, do you leave a space between the ending tiles and the new tiles being placed on the adjacent wall? Or do you place them as close together as possible? Do you I use spacers at that point like you video showed? Thanks!!

  • @swingtrades
    @swingtrades 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love this video Sal...I didn't see an answer to several people asking about leaving a gap between the tile and counter top (apologies if I missed it) but I don't think you actually need a gap in this case. You just need to seal the bottom edge of the tile with caulk for water proofing like you did in the video. The gap people are referring to is actually known as an "expansion gap" which I don't think applies for this sheet style tile. Correct me if I'm wrong however.

    It looks so pretty when your done! I just attended a workshop and learned to install a back splash, but I have a few questions they didn't address. Would you mind answering then, and thank you in advance. :) 1) What did you use to patch the wall (I think you said @ 2:00, but I couldn't hear it)? 2 (3 questions in 1) What was the process of removing the outlet covers and taping them? Was it that simple or more complicated? When you screw the outlet covers back on, do they just fit? 3) Did you caulk the space between the tile and where it meets the counter top by the sink? if so, do you have a video on caulking? Again, thanks in advance for your answers.

    Hi Sal, I'm about to do this in my shower today. The mosaic glass sheet tile and the 12x24 tile are the same thickness 1/4". Can I use the same 1/2" trowel to set the mosaic glass tile on wall so it can be the same evenness when done? I'm only doing one 12" vertical line right in the middle straight up on backwall of a 3x5 shower. And can I use the same MAPEI brand large format wall tile thinset? It's white thinset. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks

    • @SalDiBlasi
      @SalDiBlasi  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You will find that the 1/2" trowel will not work well with the mosaic tile. You should set the field first leave the pace for the mosaic tile to add it after. Glass tile requires a mortar that is suitable for glass. The thinset you use for the larger tile may not be appreciated.

    • @SalDiBlasi
      @SalDiBlasi  11 ปีที่แล้ว

      My guess it that you should probably seal the tile before you grout it, if the stone part of you tile has a lot of voids in it, they will be filled by the grout and will have an entirely different look when grouted.

      +HM Russell The blue horse shoe spacers are 1/16" thick, and they help maintain the grout space between sheets and where ever i think they are needed, I scraped the wall and smoothed it out because it was in rough shape but not so bad that it needed to be replaced, in most cases this is not necessary.

    Thanks Sal! We removed a backsplash of 4" tiles last week that removed a lot of paper and had to piece in a small patch of drywall to repair a hole. Removed all the old mastic and was advised to put a coating of Gardz on everything since we accidentally did the patch with regular joint compound and mesh tape. Should we be good to set glass tile mosaics at this point. Everything is flat.

    Excellent video. The info regarding matching the tiles at the inside corners was something I hadn't thought about. Question: Each mat usually comes packaged on a white cardboard. It seems to me that for those glass tiles that are somewhat translucent (you can see through them to some degree) the color of the thinset could affect the final color. Correct?

    • @SalDiBlasi
      @SalDiBlasi  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sone glass tiles are in fact transparent and require an additional step during installation to insure 100% coverage, and the color of the thinset will greatly affect the look of the final product.

      You need to rephrase that so I can understand what you are trying to say.

    hi! love ur video! I will be installing a glass mosaic tile backsplash in my kitchen.Thin-set mortar for glass specifically, right? any particular grout used? (sanded or unsanded? Premixed? brand u trust for glass mosaic backsplashes?) what kind of (wet)saw & blades do u use? Do you caulk the edges of the tiles at the end of the wall (with the polished tile pieces)? Thanks! :)

    • @SalDiBlasi

      Yes to all above, Tec Superflex thinset is a good one, unsanded grout is probably best no use a glass specific blade on the wet saw, caulk all changes of plain and where tile meets a dissimilar material.

    I am going to install a mixed mosaic of aluminum, glass, and ceramic backsplash. Any pointers as to the thinset, trowels and cutting techniques? I suspect that a glass cutting blade would do the job on ceramic and aluminum. Thanks in advance,

    • @SalDiBlasi

      Yes use a glass blade for glass, use a high polymer content thinset and you will have to figure out what trowel will work best for the tile you have.

    Sal, I installed a white quarry interlocking mosaic stone for my backsplash, but after grouting, it seems really dull as if a haze is covering the whole thing. It's not something that will come off with just a dry towel or something. Can you please recommend a product or what to do? My beautiful stone is totally dull, man. Thank you and I subscribed.

    • @SalDiBlasi
      @SalDiBlasi  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Did you seal the stone before grouting, if not, then that could be the cause. As far as getting it off, well there is the problem, if it is a delicate stone then harsh cleaners will just create bigger problems. This is really not my area of expertise, so I can't offer a solution. You might be able to find some help here www.johnbridge.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=2fdd90c69e4dce22c9bb103842b9478c&f=16

      I absolutely sealed before grouting : ) I'm starting to think the problem may be with the yellow lighting against the gray stone. It creates a "dull" tint. I'm going to install track lighting with different color lights or maybe under cabinet lighting and I think that may solve the issue. Thanks for replying, really appreciate your videos.

    Great video. Thanks. Can I install moic directly on pinted wall or should I do omething with the paint.

    • @SalDiBlasi
      @SalDiBlasi  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      If the paint is in good condition and well bonded, you can install the tile on it, you might want to rough it up a bit with some coarse sandpaper first.

    how long do you wait before you apply the silicone and gold long do you wait until you wipe off the excess with the sponge?
