A beautiful tiling job done in one day. You can do it with SPRAY & SET™ Adhesive.
There’s a special kind of satisfaction that comes from doing a job yourself. And, when it comes to tiling a backsplash or wall, SPRAY & SET Adhesive makes the job faster and easier.
But don’t forget, preparation is the key to success. So, here are the top ten keys to doing the job right.
- Plan ahead. Carefully measure the area you're tiling. Do your homework before you do your housework.
- Make sure your wall surface is solid, smooth and even. The wall surface and its condition play a big role in determining the kind of tile and adhesive you choose. A smooth, straight wall to begin with means a smooth, straight wall afterwards. With SPRAY & SET Adhesive, tiles will not bond to walls that have irregular or weak surfaces.
- Consider the room you’re tiling. It will impact your tile and adhesive choices. Be sure to consider exposure to water and other environmental factors.
- Choose your tile carefully. You'll have to live with it a long time. Be sure to get about 10 percent extra to allow for trim and breakage. If your project is in a tricky area or has lots of cuts, you may need even more tile. It’s always good to keep extra tiles for future repairs.
- Determine the right adhesive for the job. For many jobs, SPRAY & SET Adhesive is the smart and easy choice.
- Make certain you have the right tools. Your store associate can help you select the right tools for the job.
- Select your grout. Be sure to have the supplies you need to seal and maintain it.
- Prepare the wall surface and the job site. Make sure the wall surface is dry, even and free of flaws and dust. Thoroughly clean tile backs, too.
- Take your time. If you have questions, contact Fredsglue by phone or Live Help, search the Internet or check out a DIY tiling book. Planning now will make the job easier later.
- Read all directions twice. Have a copy of those directions handy at your worksite.
