FAQ’s Q: Should I buy glue prior to installing stick-It tiles? A: Though it should not be necessary, from time to time supplemental adhesive may be needed due to various installation conditions (cold tiles, dust, excess humidity, poor adhesion to certain surfaces, air bubbles, human error). Should the glue not be needed a few days after installation, the product can always be returned. 3M’s Super 77 spray adhesive is what we recommend. Q: I just painted my walls.
FAQ’s Q: My wall gets extremely cold in the winter. Can I still use “Stick-It tiles” on these walls? A: Yes with some additional adhesive to secure the bond between the tile and the cold walls. Inside/interior walls should not be impacted. The spray adhesive can be applied to the back of the tile directly (after removing the paper backing) or spray directly onto the wall and apply the tile onto the area that was sprayed. Apply pressure as directed.
FAQ’s Q: I put up my “Stick-It” tiles but did not apply the caulking around the border. Should I? A: Should the tiles be placed near a high moisture area (behind sink, around tub etc) it is recommended to create a vapour barrier, not allowing moisture to seep behind the tile and impact the adhesive. Adding caulking to the project will also give it a more finished/authentic look. Q: I don’t have the steadiest hands in the world, and it take a few tries to get the tiles on straight or the overlap perfect.
FAQ’s Q: I followed the installation instructions to the letter, but two days later, the tiles are starting to peel off my wall. What can I do to resolve this issue? A: In this case, we recommend a spray adhesive (3M 77, for instance). Apply this to the back of tiles or directly onto the wall, then re-apply the tile. Using additional spray adhesive, applied during or post installation, will not impact the final look of “Stick-It” tiles. Follow all other installation instructions as indicated.
FAQ’s – SHOWER INSTALLATION Q: Can I install the tiles in or above my shower? A: Using the product on the ceiling of an extreme moisture area, will strain the existing products adhesive to its limit. Though our product is moisture resistant, we do not recommend it is used in or above the shower. It is a backsplash tile. That being said, should you feel adventurous, please follow the instructions below.
