I liked this video earlier this year and applied your advice and to remove my quartz baby backsplash. My only difference was that I have a 10’ piece and needed to not only shim the top, but the bottom as well, then remove it from between my faucet and molding. Your advice really made it relatively easy. It took a lot less time than I thought it would. I was a hero in my own mind today. 😂 Thank you so much!!!

Dude....I'm so relieved!!! Wow thank you so much for posting this!!!

This method worked for me too, although I'm not sure the heat is need. One more suggestion, when pulling the existing back splash off the wall put something to cushion its drop. In my case it was my thumb (ouch).

Followed your instructions and it worked very well, but the grantie countertop is damaged behind the backsplash with large chunks missing. They are too large and will show with the thinner subway tile.. what should I do?

How do you get rid of the discoloration of the existing granite?

Your weak

2 inch backsplash? That’s a border

Would this work the same with Zodiaq quartz? Thanks for a really helpful video!

Well they only glued it in 3 globs

Does this method work with butcher block?

What did the contractor use to hold the smaller trim granite piece to the bottom countertop?

Where exactly is the heat supposed to be directed 🤔. At the backsplash? The caulking??

Genius! Heat gun seemed to help too. Hopefully mine goes as smoothly 🤣

Can’t believe no one has commented that he lucked out because the person originally installing it didn’t use very much glue!!

Worked very well Thank you

Really weak revs

This works like a charm and is almost hilariously easy. I found a plastic wedge just lying in the road and used it to complete this project. We had 6 short pieces and one long piece about 7-8 feet long. I finished the whole thing in like 20 minutes, and like 16 minutes of it was just waiting for the glue to heat up. For the smaller pieces, I was able to get them down after just waiting for a minute. Let it sit a bit longer on the huge piece, but it came down just as easily. Fantastic video.

Thanks for the video. My husband is in for a surprise! Hope I don’t mess up 😂

Just what I was looking for! Thanks

Thank you for posting this! I have 2 small sections of backsplash that I need to remove due to a different shaped stove, and I was really worried this would be a difficult project, but I am excited to remove them myself! Thanks again!

There anit no spider webs or wasps nests to knock down in the winter anyhow

BTW. Music HAS to go!!!!

TY!

Awesome thanks looking to do this too add tile backslash. How would you recommend removing the leftover silicone from the countertop?

This Saved me!

Can you do this with Quartz?

Worked perfectly! Thank you!

فكرة رائعة God idea

Worked like a charm! Excellent and easy! Thanks!

This method worked perfectly. Thank you! We removed about 35 feet of backsplash that looked very similar to this. We had no mess and no damage other than some of very long pieces breaking. I was even able to save some long pieces that did not crack. Although, I don't know what I'm going to do with them or if there is a market for used granite backsplash pieces.

Nice

Just pulled off all the quartz backsplash in my laundry room so I can lay tile. Thank you for the post!!!

I pulled one of these recently from the far end because it had a huge mirror liquid nailed right above it basically on top of the granite piece. I pried it out with a pry bar very gently and it released at that end, this was after cutting through silicone at top and bottom. After that I pulled with my fingers literally three pulling outward. It started to come almost halfway down and the sucker just crumbles in front of where it was still stuck to the wall. I couldn't believe it that it would break that easily. I've pulled these before and handled granite many times and thought the pressure I put there wasn't near enough to do this and it was on a job that needed the vanity removed for water damage behind it. The customers were not happy but I know I can make the crack dissappear with a little finesse. I honestly think it had to have already been damaged but could be wrong regardless now it's my problem. I never make mistakes like this but luckily the customers are reasonable of the situation. Has anyone ever had granite break this easily on them??

Omgosh!! I didn’t know it was that easy!! Thank you so much for this info!!

Cool. I’ll give it the ol’ college try.

Thank you this was so helpful because I have a long piece that I need to remove Around my sink area I took the two short pieces of over by the stove which she did some damage to the wall so I was going to give up on the sink side. But now after watching your video I am going to go ahead and take it off.

We have this granite at our home, what backsplash did you go with? Need ideas for Santa Cecilia Granite counters. Thanks

props for checking on the boy before the scooter!

Aptive is the biggest scam in recent history, they literally spreed SUGAR on ant mound in my far yard, then came back after the ants assaulted my inner yard, 2 months later - at this point I asked them why they sprayed SUGAR on my yard, they said "to bring the bugs out so we can kill them" - I fired them, saved 40.00 a month - and bought a can of raid, it worked. THEY DID NOT

What do you have on the bottom of your heat gun?

Can I use a hair dryer if I don’t have a heat gun??

Wow! I could do this myself. Would I create enough heat from my hair dryer?

I have done very similar with Woodglut designs.

You have the same granite that we have. What kind of backsplash did you choose?

That’s my mom lol

This is just one angle of a whole house.......this doesn’t show anything except someone’s love for Brian......why do you not love Brian???!!!

Aptive guys are assholes! Not wearing masks when I'm trying to be safe and knocking on my door even though I have a "No Soliciting" sign!

Does this technique work with quartz countertop?

Wow, thanks for this. We have black granite, which isn't horrible, but that big clunky 4" backsplash piece is. I've been thinking that if I can remove that entirely and install new backsplash (the current is white tile) we can really give the kitchen new life without replacing the countertops, which can cost a small fortune. So many thanks.
