Wood lath backsplash?
-
The Garden Frog with C Renee on Jun 16, 2015I would not use adhesive. Do you have an air compressor? I would use brad nails. Adhesive would be a mess to remove in the future. If no air compressor, then drill a small pilot hole for brad nails. mark the counter with tape where the studs are and try to hit the studs when securing. good luckHelpful Reply

Catherine on Jun 17, 2015I agree - I don't think glue would be a good idea. We just did a wood lath accent wall in our renovation project (it's on our Instagram account if you want to look at pics - @beginninginthemiddle ) and used a nail gun/finished nails to attach the pieces right to the drywall.Helpful Reply

Darla on Jun 17, 2015If you want to be able to change it in the future, you could make panels with the lath backed by 1/4 or 3/8 inch thick plywood, and mount the panels with screws. It would be easier to work on it and apply the finish that way, too.Helpful Reply
