Should hold tiles in a wet environment just fine. /s

Why wait?

You will end up with lots of fun issues doing it that way - inconsistent grout colors, possible chipping/denting tiles/counter/etc.

It also could just crack the tile depending on the tile.

It will look horrible in the end. Or you could just, you know, spend an hour removing it now and do it right once.

Lmao did you just google drywall compound and adhesive and link one that promotes “good adhesion”?

Do you fucking think that means it’s an adhesive?

Linked without comment too because you’re not even sure of the point you’re trying to make with the link.

Holy shit lmao, people on Reddit will try ANYTHING to be right about something they’d never heard of before googling it.

Never build anything.

had to redo and pull up a whole kitchen of tile cause my buddy fucked something up(was out of town and can’t remember what he did) and we used a multitool(oscillating saw) to get any stubborn bits underneath to remove them..

It'll fall off in a couple years. Not a big deal.

Wow - I'd hate to live in a house with any of the work done by half the people in the this thread.

Have the littlest amount pride in your work and do it as right as you can.

Wet mud? Super easy to pull off and redo.

Also mandatory.

You should be able to get your wall smooth and level no prob at all

you have to redo, I'm sorry that sucks. It will clean off fairly easily though.

Probably depends. Theres a big change the vacuum ( if properly aplied, which probably hasent happened lol ) will keep em sticked to the wall and the inevitable collapse of this backsplash willhappen when that vacuum fails completly unexpectedly because of too agressive breathing near the tiles.

“With adhesive”

Added.

Because drywall mud is non fucking adhesive.

Heh, the amount of tile I've torn out in the past year tryna teach rookies should make me an expert by this point.

You're fine, just correct the error before it becomes a mistake

No need to redo, just wait a week or two and it will fall down on its own

Indeed, itll stay on . Untill your steam from cooking takes them off and your backsplash takes a swim in your dinner...order food in and redo it then, will be a good story on birthdays

I love how supportive this subreddit is :)

You guys are the best.

Are you flipping the house? Leave it on, if you hope for them to stay on longer than spaghetti cooking time, follow the average advice on here

If you had hired someone for this project and they informed you of this mistake would you ask them to redo it? Yes you would, so don't rip yourself off.

Personally, I'd wait for the first time to fall off then re do it all. May take 2 years, may take 5 years - but I'm sure the adhesive will fail.

I'd think that the grouting process would introduce enough water to make these tiles fall off...

Not at all. It'll be super easy to get those tiles off and use proper adhesive.

Pull the 5 square. It's going to be pretty easy.

If it's resistant, then use a spray bottle of water. Compound has no adhesive(if its water mixed all purpose). Wet and it's gooey again.

5sq ft isn't very much to redo. The moisture is killer here. Also like others have its basically dust. It will only take a small bit of pressure from someone bumping a tile or something bumping a tile to jar it loose especially once some moisture gets in there. Just take the hour or so to fix it right.

It will fall off eventually. Better do it now

Can you get something with a strong suction cup on it? Once the wrong stuff has dried, try sticking the suction cup to the tile and see if pulling on it removes the tile too. If the tile stays on the wall, call it done?
