Did anyone ever purchase a DIY backsplash, something you stick on by yourself? I'd love some leads!
Thank you.

The wall needs to be scraped so there is a rough surface to adhere to. Choosing the tiling is the same as if you were hiring someone to do it.
To biggest challenge will be cutting the tiles.
Get a very high quality grout.
Seal the counter before doing the backsplash.
It may help to mark the wall in pencil for a more complicated design.

I saw somewhere that they sell a stick-on backsplash. (I think it was the Binah) but there were no leads where to purchase.

You're welcome. Btw I've looked for the stick on tiles at both the Home Depot and lowes in my neighborhood and they never have them in stock. Maybe you'd have more luck at a different store or online.
