    Muscle Bound works well on a perfectly flat wall. Be sure there is no dust or film on the back of the tiles before you lightly stick them up. I’ll use rubbing alcohol on a lint free rag to be sure. Must be dry to stick to the adhesive. Once you are happy with placement you must press hard to activate the adhesive. Slight gaps can be filled out with a second layer of adhesive sheeting. Once pressed firmly the tiles are never coming off. I use a laminate roller and my body weight or if a bumpy tile a press down with a towel. The wall would have to come off along with the tile.

    I love how now there’s methods on how people can customise their own homes without spending a fortune. However when it comes to stuff like tiles, bathrooms and kitchens, it’s not a good idea to do this stuff. Doing it the proper way with proper resources and trained professionals will ensure the longevity and quality of the home. You would want your bathroom or kitchen to not fall apart after a few years, preferably forever and you definitely don’t want other issues like water damage and moisture build up in the future. Something I can recommend for people who want to install tiles in their kitchen is either go to a professional or get some peel and stick tiles to use for the meanwhile. Though with that you would eventually have to remove it !

I think these are more interesting than plain, smooth, white subway tile which date your remodel a full decade older. I don't know why there's so much negativity here, it looks good and any criticism is just nit-picking. Is everyone just mad because that adhesive made it so much easier than what others experienced? Folks are just contrary sometimes. Please update if any tiles come off, as predicted by some comments. What does the warranty do if one pops off? I definitely think the technology exists for an adhesive to stick these on forever, so why not?

      Inspection won’t catch things like this. I found out that the house I bought last year used this stuff when I changed the backsplash. We cut around the tiled area and you can see the drywall and then tile, no layer of mortar. That stuff works extremely well to the point where it was easier to pull the entire wall section off then replace the drywall. Not sure how long it was up before we moved in but it was up for over a year when i moved in without any issues.
