I installed a painted glass splashback in my kitchen about 6 months ago using silicon as recommended by the supplier. I noticed recently it had slipped down the wall by about an inch so I removed it immediately.
On removal I realised that only small patches of the silicon had actually been compressed against the wall, the rest of it wasn't providing much support.
I also realised the back was covered in a layer of plastic over the painted surface.
Are you meant to remove the plastic layer and let the paint hold the silicon or did it just fail because I didn't get enough silicon in contact with both surfaces?
Thanks for any advice.
