    There are places on the bucket lid to make 1/4-1/2” cuts.This allows the lid to slide over the lip on the bucket. Ive hung wallpaper for 43 years, and it took me a long time to finally figured out what those places on the lid were for. I love your videos and have watched quite a few. When I prepped for wallpaper, I had to float walls and fix joints. I wasn’t very fast but I learned a lot watching the videos. Now I’m going to tape and float my sons kitchen. Thanks again!

    This man knows what he's doing. I learned from a tile man (brother-in-law) exactly how they really do a tile job whether it's flooring, showers, or back splashes and from what I see on this video and Jeff's other videos they most closely match what I learned from him. Right down to using an angle grinder with a diamond blade to make smaller cuts and using a cheap tile scoring cutter for the larger cuts.

      Over a floor is one thing but a tile on a backsplash is much safer if the tile your going over is flat not loose and with primer etc.. plus there is zero foot traffic on the area obviously... not like a floor which I’ve tiled over meself before and i think You have a video we’re you tiled over floor tile aswell if I’m not mistaken.. all depend on the job an circumstances of the underneath tile etc.. I like some of yr vids buddy and your honesty in critiquing yr own bathroom which would do my head in with some of the decisions you made but something tells me you got most of them materials FREE.. and used what you had.. available...😉👍

Thank you sooo much!

Only Lowes, at least that's how it is in our area. And no Ultra lite, either. So, I used the usual mortar and it worked. I got the tiles done. Looks great. Thank you.

Regardless of what opinions I was hearing I went ahead and bought the Eco Prime Grip and tried your method, and let me tell you, it worked out GREAT! The EPG really does stick to non-porous material and adhesive mortar by Mapei bonded to it great as well. Really happy about the results.

      Hello Joe, what tile was originally on the wall? I put on marble mosaic with the incorrect mortar and grout and it totally changed the tile. (DISTORTED, MULTILATED, DISCOLOURED, CORRUPTED) so now I want to put the same tile over it with improve mortar and grout. I'm worried it will be too thick, but after 10 months of looking for tile, this tile goes really well with my refaced cupboards and new laminate countertop so I would love to keep this. Maybe I should take it all out and redo? Do you think subway tile would be a better choice over the marble mosaic? Would greatly appreciate hearing from you. I am still waiting to hear from Jeff too.

      I was a professional house painter for 49 yrs. And though I didn't like getting roped into all around handyman style jobs, I would occasionally let my guard down and say yes to things outside of my usual realm of services offered. Kind of depended on just how much there was to it.
      I only did a few small tile jobs in my day, and so can't say I'm knowledgeable in the field. I do however appreciate just how cool that primer you used to get the new tile to bond was, and i really also liked that mastic, you're right, it's thick and yet has an open time which keeps it from setting too quickly! There's nothing like a little wiggle room that you get from a forgiving product that allows room for mistakes or just playing around with it until you've got it exactly like you like it. The glue gun is also a nice touch for quick and and easy installation of your aluminum trim! Overall, a very smooth and slick job, altogether!looked good and I enjoyed learning about the new technology, as you put it! Keep 'em coming.

    Easy way to open the can is you cut down the little tabs on the edge of the lid downward. Then it allows the lid to flex as you open but will still seal when you close it.

    Would the back buttering work for the whole area?

  • @chrisgraham2904
    @chrisgraham2904 Před 4 lety +4

    My existing back-splash is sheet arborite or formica (same as and matched the old counters) which is very well adhered to a plaster & lathe wall. Probably installed in the late 60's. The formica sheet even extends under the upper cabinets, so I'd have to start by cutting it out with a multi-tool. Plaster & lathe removal is much nastier than drywall removal and then I'd have to deal with the thickness differences to install new drywall. Until now, that's why I have never replaced it. Would the MAPEI Eco Prim Grip work as well over the formica for a back-splash tile similar to yours?

      I had a nauseating mirror backsplash and I literally just crossed my fingers 4 years ago and did a subway tile backsplash right over the top !!!!! And it’s worked perfectly- Just like he said we can rely on technology now more than technique. When I started I had no one to turn to to ask if this would actually work or if the tiles would just slip off the mirror. But I also knew I couldn’t smash the mirror and rip it out before I applied tile because… Glass shards everywhere!!! Anyway I’m happy to say it’s gorgeous and it’s held up fine and it hasn’t slipped at all and it’s a great improvement - thanks for this video!! I wish I had that primer tip, but it was fine.

    I have an opener for those type bucket lids. It's called an 'ABN Plastic 5 Gallon Paint Bucket Lid Opener'. They come in different sizes. I suggest you ask the store where you purchased the Prim Grip if they carry the opener. It resembles a large (beer) bottle opener. Unless one of your other subscribers has a better answer, and I know you contractors always have great ideas for these things, I will gladly order one for you.
    Like always, I learned a lot from you, Jeff. You know, it's not just what I'm learning, it's also that you have an enjoyable personality. Thank you!

      I've also noticed some of your subs telling you to do this and that about the lid. What about those times when you need to re-seal the bucket? My lid opener came from Augason Farms. It's $9.99. But it's bigger and more sturdy than the others I've seen on the web. Get it. Consider it another useful tool. Besides, every time you use it, you can think about me trying to save you from a self induced heart attack. (Notice how polite I'm being? Not once have I called you an old fart. I haven't forgotten that you called me the matriarch of the family!)
