    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.

    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

    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.

Sorry, I am in the medical field and work in the operating room with a lot of tools, and I work with a lot of tools at home so I am always curious.

    • @LRN2DIY

      I just checked out the 3M stuff and it looks like it would work really well in these types of cases. I assume you meant that it keeps the adhesives from falling off, right? Not keeps it from sticking? Anyway, it's awesome that we have options and certain wall textures really need something like that in order to work.

      I just took off some self adhesive sticker type ones from a ‘back splash’ in the bathroom. Came off easily enough, left residue behind. Googone isn’t getting it off. I then bought the big tiles like this guy, self adhesive etc. I was just getting prepped to put them on the wall but our vanity is 30” wide, meaning I’d have to ‘cut these to fit’ as each one’s 12” wide. 3 would be too wide, 2 too narrow??! I just decided to paint the area. The whole reason for my situation was that every time my hubby would open our medicine cabinet, he would chip the paint off with his fingernail somehow? I was always pulling out the arsenal of painting supplies to do a one minute touch up! Ugh! It got old haha! I think all in all, I’d rather deal with paint, than this??? Idk???

      All viable options, yes. I believe the trim is there (in this case) to cover a seam in the panels so my options were to either leave it and only do a backsplash area, like I did, or remove it and tile the entire wall. I would have gone with a different looking tile / backsplash in that case but that's certainly an option.

    We repainted with a primer, that i can't find the can, i want to say was called sticks or something. The first piece is still stuck pretty good after 2 days.
    The next problem is going to be outlets and light switches. Our house is a modular so the covers are just click on. Im going to have to either replace the covers or cut more out around them and caulk.
    Just found the can, it's call stix primer. I don't know long term, but is made to cover satin or gloss paint and leaves a chalky texture.

    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.
