/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I've used construction adhesive for backsplashes many, many times. Sets fast and easy cleaning for any fuck ups. Smear and stick, don't glob it on or you'll have a rough time grouting.

When you're doing the back splash you should be cutting around the box openings. Make sure to make it nice and tight around the box so the ears of the receptacle have something to sit on (be sure to also pay attention to the mounting screw holes as well as the face plate screw hole locations). Pull the receptacles out of the wall but leave the wires attached. Once the tile is set, you can slap your receptacles back in, painters tape on the front, and grout away.
Technically speaking, you should install extension rings, but the NEC can suck a chubby as tile, grout, and adhesive is not a combustible surface and falls into a gray area.
