I would like to put a mosaic ceramic tile which is partly shiny and partly rough, behind the stove area. My husband thinks it would be difficult to keep clean. Any suggestions?

A phrase my dad always told me and haunts me everytime I think about taking the easy way out....So I tore out the drywall and replaced it today. It actually turned out to be the easier way. I have a U shaped kitchen---about 30 linear feet and it only took three hours to tear out and put up new. I'll be mudding it tomorrow. I'll have a nice clean slate to start with and my conscience will be at ease...Thanks for the reply! Ah….Always do it right–short cuts will always come back to bite you.

The new mastic would mask it, but those tiles would probably stick out more than the other tiles. I would scrape off as much of the rough stuff as possible.

I pulled off my old tiles so I can put up a new tile backsplash. New granite is going in so I'm also going all the way down to the counter where there used to be a laminate backsplash. The old tiles look like they were put on with troweled construction adhesive if you can believe that. So I have 4" of smooth drywall and then the rest is very ruff where some of the paper lifted and also has some construction adhesive on it. My question is should I tear out all the ruff stuff and replace with new or would mastic "mask" ALL of the flaws and slight variations from the roughness? Thanks Hi,

Just make sure you get enough off so you have a good base to attach the new tiles on. These tiles are decorative and won't see much pressure or use, if any. Personally, if I damaged the drywall I wouldnt even bother respackling it, just put the tile over it. Unless you have huge holes that is. You don’t have to get it all off.

Do we HAVE to get ALL the old adhesive off? That might damage some of the drywall and we'll have to add the extra step of spackling the damaged areas. Is that just part of the retiling process?
