That's the thing about taking shortcuts. It actually works a lot of the time. But sometimes it doesn't work, and that's the people that are going to comment the most on these types of threads.

Not saying he shouldn't tear it down, especially since it hasn't fully set yet. But he would probably have been fine either way, especially since it's a backsplash, and doesn't get wet like a shower for example.

He said it was an accident. It wasn't a shortcut.

Right, but it's similar in result, and if they don't treat it out and redo it it will be one.

And it's only 5 sq feet of the backsplash. I would re-do it just to know I've done it properly but probably nothing would ever happen if they leave it as is rn.
