I put self sticking floor tile on my wall in the kitchen to cover up some old congolium flooring that the past owner put up with glue . The tiles keep falling off, What can I do to make them stay up there.
Answer:
The peel&stick product was made to adhere to an underlayment and not the vinyl that's on your wall so it won't stay long. You should remove the old stuff and treat it as if it were a floor - 1/4" underlayment and then the peel&stick.
In the interests of retaining credibility and in fairness to all, I cannot comment on specific products, recommend prices, people nor companies for various projects.
