The adhesive mat made it fairly easy to position the tiles. Mussel Bound is sold at Lowe's, but Home Depot has their own brand of a similar product. I'm not sure we could have done this without the mat!
Mussel Bound is a Lowes product. See MusselBound.com for any questions you have about the product. Their site even has a video showing how to use the tile mat.
The tile (Casablanca Orion porcelain tile) was purchased from Overstock.com, and was still available as of April 2017. For other sources, do a Google search for the specific name or search Arabesque Blue Tile to find similar tile.
Have a question about this project?
Hi I realize I am a little late to the party but I was researching using the Schluter tile edging along with the MusselBound mat and came upon your post. Your backsplash looks great!!! How did you adhere the metal edging to the wall, though (before you put the mat edge on top of it)? Sorry if this has already been asked / answered.
Thanks Vivian. That is what I did and it looks really nice. I will have to upload a photo. Turned out great!
Can it be used on floor to tile,and outside?
This statement is on their web site: "MusselBound should not be applied in an outdoor application. MusselBound is not recommended for floors, ceilings, fireplaces, steam rooms, shower floors and submerged projects."
Will the wall Matt adhere to laminated wall board.
Thank you for your carefully sought and conveyed answer!
