OT wall tile

[Delvaughn]

Did a bathroom remodel an painted the walls. Now the wife wants to put 3"x6" subway tile on one wall. Will the tile stick to the new paint? Thanks

Yes the glue applied with a trowel will hold it lay out tile first and make your cuts first make sure you keep tile straight and level

if it's vertical on a wall use a smaller v-notch trowel to spread the tile mastic, not a square notch. the smaller grooves in the mastic give more contact of mastic to tile, or more surface area, and therefore it will hold to the wall better. the larger square notch trowels are only for floors.

Thanks for your answers. I have already put on about 2,000 tiles in one part of the remodel now have to put up about 40 sq ft more in the wash room. LOL
