How to DIY Your Backsplash (I promise it’s easier than you think 😉)
1. Make sure your wall is flat and smooth-ish
2. Remove all outlet covers + pull plugs away from the wall
3. Apply MusselBound tile adhesive mat to the wall. It’s basically like a double sided sticky tape that replaced thin set 🙌🏼
4. Pull back the MusselBound paper and stick your tiles to the wall
5. Use a manual tile snapper or a wet saw to make your cuts
6. Grout the tile
VOILÀ 🤌🏼
Easy peasy! Follow along with me @comestayawhile to learn how to DIY your home on a budget! Do you feel like tile is something you could tackle now!? The whole project is saved to my Instagram highlights 👏🏼

I love this. Good work. I show my dad these videos. He's a the guy. Done tile his whole life. He says that when ppl use that paper to stick the tile to, it will last for a while and eventually fall off. He has lots of experience with the stuff. Says it will last for a while but never lasts like doing it with thinset.

Stunning 😍
Hell yeah imma do my kitchen now
Well done. The music, the temp.
With wet adhesive you can move the tile into into its final position. With the adhesive paper you have to peel tile off and try again weakening the adhesive. Tiling can be a bit messy, you just have to do it in stages and clean up as you go

Great work. May I ask what color subway tile you used. White or light grey?
Yay girl power!!!
Like many things in reno there is no one-solution for all. adhesive mats for backsplash are not meant for heavy and large tile installation and also you pay the price for the convenient installation upfront
What is the product/item u put on before the tiles please ?
Amazing! How did you learn how to do this all? I love this!
Ok that's a big help.
Perfection!
This is awesome - especially the adhesive backing!
Tile adhesive on a roll? Didn’t know it was a thing. Wonder if you can get it in the uk
Great job cutting and fitting the tiles, but if you're going through all that work, why not use mastic to properly stick them to the walls?
That sticky paper is insanely expensive, but it’s handy. Nice job.
Can you seal the grout? Is that a silly question?😊
Would this sustain in high humidity areas like bathroom? I am worried the glue will loose its adhesiveness quickly
Also what tile did you use?

What made you use the tile punch versus the saw? Are both necessary?
Wawo just amazing
There's a reason you don't use adhesive paper for backing. If you look, the tiles are wonky. That's becsuse the cement you would normally use acts as a leveler. Walls are never straight. This is good for someone whos not fussed about finish however. Hats off to you.

@@Michael-ur5qb I think a wall that isn't flat ends up with tiles that aren't flat, unless the tiler is skilled. I've never used the paper, but I imagine you could do a good job with it if the wall is really flat to start with.
