How do I stick a clear glass splash back to the wall?

Go to a place like Home Depot or such. they have a carpenters ADHESIVE that somes in a tuble. You put it into a squeeze gun and it will push the adhesive out of the tube and apply it where you want. Make a sealing ring around the place where you want to glass and then gently press the glass into the adhesive. If you push really hard you can break the glass.





The adhesive will stick to the wall surface and to the glass.





Do nto use silicone as it will deteriorate over a relatively short time and one day you will walk in to find a lot of briken glass on the floor.





Ask the people at Home Depot about this and they will tell you everything you need including the caulking gun to put the tube into.How do I stick a clear glass splash back to the wall?
take the glass to a glass cutters and get them to drill in holes so you can screw it too the wallHow do I stick a clear glass splash back to the wall?
I have no idea
They also make a clear adhesive for installing windows. It comes in a small tube and is used when replacing window panes. You can get this at Home Depot or most glass stores. It's pretty clear and may have similar coeficient of expansion properties as glass.
I would use clear silicone caulking
You serious? I have never heard of anyone wanting clear glass. Clear glass will show condesation staining and grease dirt build etc. Everyone I have worked for either have etched or sand blasted for this very reason. Good luck .
Your clear glass back splash is going to show any adhesive you use and also any defects/gaps in the adhesive. Also, if their are any air gaps behind the back splash they will collect dirt and that will look terrible.





I would rethink this idea.
Contact Belling customer service on 0871 2222625, they sell them %26amp; should be able to give advice
USE VELCRO DOTS/STRIPS -YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO CLEAN THE GLASS FOR THE SAME REASON YOU WANT THE GLASS!
use a clear adhesive. make sure its not blotted on. use a a thin fine brush to lightly layer it. then let is set for couple of minutes then put on wall
using a hardware fastener rather than adhesive makes the unit more servicable,





hardware that is used to hang mirrors with have a offset and a place for a screw to atttch them





i tried a link but i couldnt make it work but in google images there is a picture under combination door fasteners they work well in that application
I suggest you use 100% silicone. It works as a sealer and as an adhesive.
