A:  wondering this myself.. concerned about the edge layer of tile being angled out slightly with a double layer of adhesive mat being used (under and over the hidden portion of the edge trim). Can customer service chime in?

A:  Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We have reached out to the manufacturer and their answer is, THE 3/8" size is correct for this application

A:  Dear Valued Home Depot Customer, We have reached out to the manufacturer and their answer is,Sorry about the online typo. Thank you for calling it to our attention. We will correct that information. The product you referenced is in fact PVC. It can be used on a backsplash or behind the stove. We do not recommend trying to paint the PVC product.

A:  One of the benefits of PVC trims is they are easy to cut. The best way to cut plastic profiles is with a fine-toothed rotary saw. This gives a neater cut than using a wide-toothed saw as it reduces burred and jagged edges. The more teeth on the saw the better the cut. PVC trims may also be cut using appropriate snips. If using in a corner, consider a miter box and saw.

A:  Since it’s PVC it can be painted, yes. I recommend using a little piece of sandpaper to rough it up a bit to hold paint better.

A:  Hello , thank you for your recent inquiry with The Home Depot. We have investigated your question and have determined that we do not recommend the bull nose be painted due to it be glossy where it wont sick. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future.

A:  You could install the tiles right over the counter top but you would need to put spacers so that you have a joint like the rest of the tiles grout joints. I usually prefer to use the tile edging right over the counter top (with no spacers) and then install the tiles. It makes a much nicer looking job, in my opinion. I install the edging using the same adhesive that I use for the tiles, and then let it dry. Then I install the tiles on top of it. This method is especially useful behind the stove, where there is no countertop to hold things straight. When I install the edging I make sure to enbed it into the adhesive as far as it will go, and then scrape off all the adhesive from the top of the tile edging flange so that the tiles have a flat surface to stick on. After it dries it would easily prevent any tile from sliding down while the tile adhesive cures.

A:  i dont think so, get the metal version of it for that or us a small piece of wood on the wall or some thin piece of other metal edging
