My husband and I bought a new house and completely renovated the kitchen. We didn’t want to have to go through the messy mortar and waiting process so began looking for an easier cleaner option. We quickly found musslebound and thought it would be perfect for our needs. It includes detailed application instructions and we also had fun doing it. We got the job done so quickly and our backsplash looks professionally done. We loved it so much we are considering doing our shower too.

First time doing a backsplash, using this saved time. Was able to grout right away.

We used this to install our subway tile backsplash in our kitchen. This made the job much easier and less messy. Also you can be a new person to installing tile and be very successful. I worked with a professional both days on this project, but I installed the mat in the second day before he arrived and it was sooooo easy!! Great product!!

I experimented and went with this and I am very pleased with how easy it was to install and work with doing my kitchen backsplash. Would definitely recommend!

We used this for our backlash. It was a little difficult to place on the wall by the time we got to the end we figured it out. I really liked how you can place the tiles and readjust when needed. When we got up the next morning some of the tiles had slid down, but I think that’s because we didn’t press into place. We have used thinset Before in a previous project and wanted to try musselbound. We are very happy with the results!

This is the most awesome product. I have never put up tile in my LIFE and with this product I was able to install a beautiful subway tile backsplash. The job was not as messy as I had imagined and the tile looks amazing. Since I have no experience I have to give the credit for the amazing result to the products I used! This stuff is REALLY worth it’s weight in gold!

I loved the how much more convenience it brought to doing a backspash.

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.

Easy to use. Not forgiving once the tile is firmly pressed on. Make sure you wipe down your walls and let it dry before you apply a bonding mat. Same for your tile wipe and let dry completely. Use a degreaser type cleaner around the wall stove area. Look for waves in your wall and fix before you start. Apply bonding mat from top to bottom, not parallel to your counter top. This is not like using thin set, where you can adjust the tile after it is placed. When setting tile, use light pressure on corners to adjust as necessary. Once it is where you want it press firmly and pray you don’t have to remove it. This stuff is sticky and bonds well.
