              A:  Unfortunately this product didn’t stay sticky enough after I used it to install my kitchen tiles. Tiles kept falling off one by one once I started to cook daily. I eventually had to put silicone on “every “ tile once they fell off.

                    A:  I used this mat at my old house and my new one. You would have to pry it off…it really sticks. Only used it on back splash… never in showers.

                        A:  We’ve used this simple mat twice now. Both times for kitchen backsplash and have never had an issue with tiles falling off or any other issue. First time we used 12x12 mosaic tiles. Our current kitchen, we used 3x9 glass tiles.

                          A:  I (mistakenly) did not grout for a few days - several tiles fell off, and most that remained sagged. Ughhh! My fault - the directions state you need to grout within 24 hours. Redid the wall, grouted, and perfect! It’s an entire counter-to-ceiling backsplash, and I love the product!

                              A:  We used this product directly on the wall to tile a backsplash, in both a bathroom and kitchen areas. Sticks very well, follow the directions and you will have good results.

                                            A:  The mat is white but has light tanish Glue on it. Not sure what you intend to use with it but anything see through would not look good.
