Very sticky stuff! My glass tiles have a mesh backing and it did pretty well holding the groups of tiles in place. The only time I struggled was when the back of the tile was only partially covered with mesh and the tile was small. I had to tear off the mesh. You have to be REALLY careful when sticking the tile into place and make sure you use spacers otherwise good luck ripping the tile off the wall and moving it.

Used this to lay new tiles over existing ones around our fireplace. We used 6×6″ tiles that were about 1 pound each. It was pretty easy to reposition the tiles when we needed to, until that point you pressed them down. then it is fairly difficult to budge them (but that is the point of the matting, to hold them in place) It worked very well for our application but I can see how it might be difficult to get this matting set in place when its not a long, straight and equal size surface.

At the end of a full remodel project on my childhood home, we made a decision to introduce tile in the form of a kitchen backsplash. I’ve always hired someone for tile work, but decided to give it a go myself. Used Musselbound and premixed grout. Could not have been happier with the outcome and wonder why anyone would go through all the mess of a traditional install. Great product and great outcome if I may say so myself.

I did a side-gig backsplash and decided to try this adhesive mat to reduce the total job time and limit the number of visits to the house. Wow, this was fast and clean! I had the stove pulled out, set the tile, immediately grouted that area, and put the stove back in place right away. How awesome is that! Like any product we have to live with the portions they are sold in. But I do wish there was at least one more option larger or smaller. I needed 18sqft, the roll is only 15sqft, but the extra money for a second roll was worth it. – My own house will need 34sqft.
