Peel and stick tiles application-foaming glass cleanser?
Okay so I applied vinyl peel and stick tiles to my bathroom wall about 5 years ago and they’ve yellowed and I’m looking to replace them. I DISTINCTLY remember a “hack” for applying them of spraying foaming glass cleaner ON the wall first and then applying the tile so that you can “slide” it into place, kind of like grout so that you don’t have to be so exact while sticking it down. The glass cleaner evaporated and the peel and stick tiles stayed in place. It worked great, mine lined up wonderfully because of this hack, and they have not peeled up at the edges ONE BIT in 5 years. I’m literally only looking to replace them because of the discoloration. But the thing is, I cannot find a BIT of information about this “hack” on the internet now except for one random blog post from 2020. I remember watching videos, reading about people that did it, getting brand suggestions on the glass cleaner…but now? Nothing. I swear this existed. I DID IT. But I never do ANYTHING like this without spending hours researching first so I’m flabbergasted I can’t find anything on it now. Does anyone remember this hack or have any info on it? What gives? Where did the info and videos all go?!!! submitted by /u/Baylem2017 [link] [comments]
