Can I place a mosiac glass tile, for a backsplash on top of formica?
I have an ugly formica countertop that extends up the wall for a back splash. I have done a giani granite on the countertops, and it turned out very good. Looks like granite. I did not continue to paint faux granite up the wall of the formica backsplash. So it looks nice and somewhat pleasing to the eye, can I sand the formica lightly, and apply a glass or mosaic tile, to the formica backsplash?
Yes AS LONG as the formica is held fast and tight to the wall. Yes sand it , even roughly and then use either a tack rag or some mineral spirits ( or equal) and wipe it down to get the fine dust off.
Best to use a enhanced white thin set but a mastic will work , just allowing a day or two extra to dry on either adhesive.
Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there. GL
