Regarding how you worked out your spacing from side to side, i would do that top to bottom too; you may end up needing a juat sliver on the last row. Great looking job!
Thanks for watching! That would make me cut twice which is the worse part. I had a lot of different ways I could go with trim but got pretty lucky on that last row. Take csrr
Great work. Would this same method work on an outdoor cinder block fireplace? With the glue and then grout mortar? Or would a traditional mortar application be better?
That's a good question! I think it will work if you use liquid nails landscape or any adhesive for outdoor mason work. The bricks and mortar are the same as u see on homes!
@@HomeProHero wasn’t sure if the glue would hold up outside to the moisture and elements, but I guess once the grout is applied it becomes basically weatherproof?
Do you know if this can be installed directly on a sheetrock and plaster wall with that adhesive for a kitchen backsplash? Is there any prep work required, like cement board or another substrate?

Great tutorial! Am about to install brick slips for the first time, so your tips have really helped.
Happy I could help! Good luck with the project!
You only did this in your house couple of times and it looks like you've been doing this for 40 years. Man are you a quick learner 😁
Thx! It's really no that hard. Looks hard but is one of the easiest things I have done!

That landscape liquid nails is used regularly here in Indiana for bonding retaining wall blocks. I think it works!
Nice job but you shouldn't have painted them black. Natural is way nicer
Thx for watching. We really like it goes well with the decor in the room! Take care
Do you know if this can be installed directly on a sheetrock and plaster wall with that adhesive for a kitchen backsplash? Is there any prep work required, like cement board or another substrate?
Thx for watching. Yea for sure it can be installed as a backsplash. In this video I did it on regular Sheetrock/drywall
Thanks for the response! Will it adhere to plaster or do I have to scrape it?
No clue I have never dealt with plaster but you could stick ons let it dry for 24hrs and if it's hard to remove you are good. I bet it will!
Would you have to seal it as a backsplash? Or at least give it a water resistant coating?
Could be sealed with standard tile grout sealer to prevent staining from food spatter but may not be even needed. Thanks for watching!
