If the wall surfaces are well cleaned the tiles will stick very well. Don't
be tempted to use another glue in addition to the glue that is on the tiles
as they may or may not be compatible. I was the victim of such a practice
and it litterally took years for the the two glues to cure to the point that
they wouldn't move about and this was on a floor. I could have removed the
tiles to get at the other glue but the solvents involved to remove the glue
were such that I didn't want to risk the hazard presented and it would have
rendered the house unliveable for quite a while.

Floor tiles on a wall?

Well, why not.

I remember carpeting the walls in a big-iron computer room (to cut down the
noise). The carpet company thought we were nuts.

Worked swell.

John, did you try this? I was thinking of doing this in the area around
the bath tub. I laid a vinyl peel & stick floor in my mud room. To keep
the tiles from coming up with the moisture, I put down a vinyl adhesive..
waited until it was tacky.. put down the tile and then caulked the seams..
I was thinking this would work around the bathtub too..

I have a window to go around and cutting around the fixtures would not be
easy for me if I put in a tub surround...

anyway.. just curious if it worked or not..
