- A backsplash is a great low risk way to get your hands dirty trying tile work for the first time. Unlike a bathroom where waterproofing is imperative, this is low stakes and good for practice!

Great tips and information.
Thank you for them
Thank you for watching!!
Nicely done. I would suggest using a mastic like Ardex D14 for a virtually unlimited pot life and ease of use. It's perfect for backsplashes with a tile size of 8"x 8" or less.
Good to know! I live in a small town so I have super limited access to products. But I like to know the good stuff for when I have more complicated or difficult projects. When I have those, I can plan ahead and I'll go to Utah to buy some better stuff in advance :)
Simple to the point thanks great job. I begin my project today
@@reinaldoromero25 nice! Hope it goes great!
That looks amazing. The tile snap tool looks so simple to use. Thank you for the demonstration. Your videos are very well done. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! I like the score and snap when I can use it because its way less mess and its much lighter to carry to the job site than my wet saw is! Its also a much more affordable tool.
Another excellent video Emily, good information and tips.
Thank you!!
A tile backsplash is one of the best value add for the money. I do one in every rental I buy because the cost is low and the impact is high. Nice work. (Premix mastic is what I use too, just so much easier and better than mixing your own thinset)
You're right- its an easy way to pack a punch! Also makes it look less "flippy" and generic and more homey in my opinion.
Well done. Looks great!
Thank you!!
Great info as always, thanks
