Tiling a Backsplash with the SKIL Wet Tile Saw and UltraColor Grout

In this video, I'll show you how to tile a kitchen backsplash using the SKIL wet tile saw and ultracolor grout. This is a great project for beginners, and I highly recommend using the SKIL tile saw for the best results. Watch the video to see how it's done and get started on your own kitchen backsplash today!
1) Measure the area where the backsplash will be installed to determine the amount of materials needed.
2) Prep the wall by removing any old tile and cleaning the surface.
3) Mark a level line on the wall to use as a guide for installing the tiles.
4) Spread a layer of thinset mortar on the wall using a notched trowel.
5) Lay the tiles on the wall, starting at the bottom and working your way up. Use spacers to ensure even gaps between tiles.
6) Cut tiles as needed to fit around outlets and other obstacles.
7) Once all the tiles are in place, allow the thinset to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions.
8) Mix the grout according to the manufacturer's instructions and apply it to the joints between the tiles using a grout float.
9) Wipe away excess grout with a damp sponge and allow it to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions.
10) Seal the grout to protect it from stains and make it easier to clean.
The UltraColor FA Grout works! Use it.

What're your thoughts? Have you used the Skil Tile Saw before? AND maybe more importantly, have you used the forbidden Ultracolor Grout FA before?

[@RG_sssSMOKING]

I just finished using this for my backsplash and it worked fine.
First I weighed the water and the Grout. I also used distilled water that was cold.
For 1# of Grout FA use 3.5 oz water.
Resist adding more water and stir by hand for 3.5 to 4 min.
Use right away, doesn't not need to rest.
Hope this helps.

The backsplash looks great! You make it look so easy even with all the cuts you had to do!

Just bought this same saw for my 1st tile job can't wait to see how it goes

[@luifranco1457]

I found your video while doing research on this Skil wet saw. Nice job, it clearly shows that you took your time and were rewarded with excellent results! Btw, that is a Herringbone pattern, not Chevron!

[@wilderunner09]

I just bought this saw and will be tiling our backsplash. I'm intimidated by using it but hopefully it won't be too complicated! Thanks for the video!

Thanks for the video. I will be doing my kitchen backsplash this weekend and I will be using the Ultracolour grout and Mapei Type 1 adhesive . A little bit nervous from Jeff's video about the Ultracolour but you made it looks so easy grouting so I am less nervous now. haha. THanks again.

[@PineyJustice]

Why would you use adhesive rather than thinset?

[@ronellwalker9463]

Lol you’re still talking about Jeff’s video? You’ve done multiple tile jobs, he was talking to people who have never grouted before. Also like other people have pointed out in the other video’s comments it really depends on a bunch of different factors as to how fast the grout will set up.

@Kelly Concepts Sorry man, this is far from a professional job.
