USE AND CARE MANUAL
TOOLS REQUIRED:
Utility blade (score the surface and snap) or tile saw
Protective gear
Level
Sponge
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Tiles can be installed over most clean, flat, smooth, dry, surfaces that are free of
dust, wax, soap scum and grease. Drywall, plaster or clean, smooth tile (glazed,
porcelain type tile; not porous or textured). Any damaged or uneven areas must
be repaired, patched, leveled and primed. Fill cracks and irregularities, then
smooth.
Tiles can be cut simply with a saw, shears or straight blade (xacto knife).
For utility blade - Glide blade across the tile in a straight line (with the help of a
ruler) creating a scratch or score in the tile. Repeat until a groove in the tile is
formed. It can then be broken or severed along the groove, resulting in a straight
and smooth cut. Use fine grit sandpaper to smooth the edge.
Before installing tiles on the wall - Lightly spray a small amount of soap and
water mixture (2 tsp dish soap/ 16 oz water) to the adhesive and spread evenly
with a sponge. This will allow tile to be repositioned within a few seconds of
installation.
Press firmly on tile when in desired position
