I started to learn by watching my fav step by step video – MUST WATCH HERE.
First make a trip to your Local HOME DEPOT. Here are the supplies you will need:
PICTURED
-OMNI Grip Tile Adhesive (The amount you will need depends on the size of your project, but this giant one will last you forever)
- Fusion Pro Grout ( I used snow white) You can use any color you want depending on the look you are going for
- HDX Trowel
- Sponge
- Tile Spacers (I used 1/8)
- Scraper tool for excess adhesive
- Sharpie to mark tile
NOT PICTURED:
- Sanding stone to sand tiles
- Rubber grout float
- Don't forget about the actual subway tile! You can buy these by the case for super cheap. Click HERE.
THE BASIX
DON’T FORGET THE PREP:
- Remove all wall plugs and faces/turn breaker off
-Laser level it! Make sure your counter is level (Never is)
-If it is your good to go. If its not… trim all subway tile so that the tops of the first row are level with your laser (get a guys help with this)
DOIN THE DAMN THING
-Start on one side,
-Bottom row = 1st tile is a full subway tile & 2nd Row = is half a tile (Makes the offset look uper easy!)
-Scoop adhesive onto trowel.
-Make it smooth and thin. Keep your traul at a 45 degree angle.
-Use the laser level to guide your tiles…
-place a couple tiles at a time then add in spacers (push up)
-Let dry for however long package says
-Lay grout over, and wipe off excess with sponge
-Let dry for however long package says
-Clean
-Enjoy!
