June 28, 2010I am installing 4.5" x 4.5" porcelain tiles on a drywall kitchen backsplash. Applying Omnigrip mastic using a 1/4" x 3/16" vnotch trowel. The tiles have a waffle grid pattern on the back which is about 1/16" deep. I tested the application of one tile and noticed that the mastic did not fill all the [...]

June 22, 2010Hi , I too have formica laminate on the wall and want to replace it with tile. Since my new countertops are not as thick as the old ones, and there was a metal strip between old countertop and wall laminate, there is now a gap of drywall of approximately 1 inch between the granite [...]

May 19, 2010We have drywall in our kitchen that was painted with a smooth semi-gloss paint a good 8 yrs ago. We’d like to install 3"x6" tumbled marble as a backsplash over the drywall. It’s about 1/4" thick so probably slightly heavier than say, the tiny square glass tiles that come on a 12"x12" netting. One person [...]

May 17, 2010High-density fiberboard is the only material thin and flat enough to use as a level surface for my new backsplash. The drywall was ruined slightly when we ripped the old laminate crap off the wall. Can I do glass mosaic tile over hardboard if I glue & screw the hardboard to the drywall? I’m using [...]

May 27, 2009We have ordered some 2×2 opque glass tiles on a 12×12 mesh backing for our backsplash. We have a 10 inch wet saw and a reg. diamond blade for ceramic tile. We have been told this will not work on glass tile. What blade do we need? We have never tiled but my husband was [...]

May 21, 2009Hi. I would like to install a glass tile backsplash in my kitchen (tiling over drywall). In one area, there is about a 2' section that dips in – deepest gap between wall and counter is in the middle (around 1/2") but then evens out a foot or so in each direction. How can I [...]

April 13, 2009I'm installing a kitchen back splash of 1" x 1" glass tile. Right now there is drywall where the tile will be. I've read that it is better to use cement backing board as a substrate. Is this really necessary or can I just use thin-set to mount the tile directly to the drywall and [...]
