RUclipsr mentality. "Never done it before but here's a how to..."
The mastic pre-mixed adhesive you used is NOT recommended for glass tile. Since glass is not porous, the mastic on the edges of the tile can dry and seal in undried mastic underneath the tile. The trapped moisture can lead to bonding issues and molding. Literally any glass tile manufacturer will tell you not to use mastic, and the Mapei label also says not to use it on glass tile!
To avoid the squeeze out, set the tile directly on top of the other tile and "slide" into its space away from the adjacent tile. This "smears" the adhesive / mortar in the opposite direction of the grout line. Hope that makes sense
WHAT !!! No backer board .............................. moving on to a different video, hope it stays stuck 🤦♂️
Don’t use that grout from Lowe’s. It hardens too fast and is a nightmare for beginners. Also don’t clean your sponge in the sink. Use a bucket and rinse the bucket out often with a hose. The grout is like cement and can clog your drains.
Key to perfect caulk joints...don’t apply too much, in both bead size and bead length. Get a solo cup with water, and a roll of paper towels. Then after laying it down, use a wet index finger with light pressure. Keep wiping off your finger and re wetting it. Makes it perfect every time. If you are getting ugly joints, use less caulk and use less pressure from finger. Works great for me for several decades now. An old timer at Home Depot taught me that, 😂.
Good thing you do voice over in post... your frustration was pretty evident at times, and I can totally relate. The kitchen looks stellar my man. Well done.
i always use painters tape when i caulk, makes a nice line on the tile and counter top when you peel it off.
I watched countless videos after deciding I wanted to install my own subway tile backsplash and I was ecstatic when I saw JB had created a video as he's one of my "go-to" YT creators. If you're watching because you're thinking of tackling this project, know this is one of the most realistic tutorials out there. You will experience all the same hiccups that JB had to work through and then some. Your project will easily take 10 times longer than you think it will, it will be surprisingly exhausting and it will be a VERY messy job. Just because something is simple, doesn't mean it is easy and this is a perfect example. My backsplash turned out great! (I still have to grout) There are at least three significant mistakes that only I know about so I am content. I wanted professional results with first-timer experience and I knew that was unrealistic going in. However, I based my expectations on the outcome of previous first-time DIY projects like LVP-ing my entire house so I understood my capabilities. All this is to say, take your time, be confident in your abilities and fill your head with as much info as you can going in. You've got this!
Hey there so I was a flooring specialist for awhile in my career with Home Depot and I did demos on backsplash installations and one product that was phenomenal was called simple mat. It's a double sided adhesive mat specifically for backsplash and has an extremely tough hold. And turns a backsplash job into a one day project. Little more spendy but saves a ton of time. But you have to grout the same day otherwise too much air gets to the adhesive and dries it out. Kitchen looks great thanks for the video.
Pro Tip! - A little distilled white vinegar on a sponge will remove tile haze. Dilute it with a little warm water.
Loved this reno. Great job man. Always enjoy a video showing mistakes as well.
Enjoyed the videos on your kitchen remodel. You did a wonderful job and it is beautiful. You would never know you hadn't tiled before if you hadn't told us. Y'all stay well and God bless.
wow..i was here to watch the tiles installed ended up watching the whole thing..you got a great voice and well done!!
As I have said before in previous videos, you make everything seem so simple. Good job.
Everything came together nicely, and as much as my wife would complain about the bluetooth range and hood I LOVE THAT FEATURE. Good call on the grout color that really took the blackspash up a notch.
Nice job on the tiles Johnny, the kitchen looks awesome! 😃👌🏻👍🏻👊🏻
I did a project for a friend where I had a similar run of duct through some cabinets. I made some false face panels to cover the cavities where the duct passed through... Turned out pretty nice, and hid the duct when the cabinet was open. Kitchen looks great, man!
It was super satisfying watching the kitchen come together over these last few videos. I can't wait to see the next project you tackle!
Really thorough and helpful video. Thanks for sharing!
