Scotty Hutto Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 The work continues… Removed old mirrors (silvering was coming off) and Corian backsplash behind stove and replaced with glass tile as selected by Debbie… Removed existing, cleaned with TSP. Tile set with Flexbond thinset, grouted with Polyblend non-sanded grout, and caulked with Polyblend sanded latex caulk. Faucets are Glacier Bay (Home Depot) connected to PEX with Sharkbite cutoff valves and braided stainless lines. After: Before: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmw188 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 How difficult were the mirrors to get off and did it tear the wall with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mirrors came of surprisingly easy. I used a putty knife and then a longer blade and all three came off in one piece. Probably 10 minutes effort on each. The Corian backsplash was another story. Very, very difficult to remove. In addition to the two-sided tape, it also had a generous application of construction adhesive. It took me almost two hours to get it off. All were removed without damaging the wall behind them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmw188 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Ok good to know. I found that if your patient you can use wood wedges and just put some increasing tension on what your trying to remove over a day or so. I like it, it looks good!
