View Full Version : installing tiles over countertops

I recently had my countertops redone and decided that a ceramic back splash would look good between the countertops and cabinets. I've never done anything like this before and am lost as to how to go about this project. The walls are painted over drywall. How do I prepare the surface or is there something I have to use so the tile will adhere right? Also, how do you cut and space the tiles? Thank in advance! These forums are great!!-Vince
