Any idea of what was used to affix the backsplash to the walls and
how I might go about removing it without damaging the wall?


Absent visible screws, etc., it's got to be glue of some sort.

What's the wall made of?

If you don't want to reuse the backsplash, you can try shattering it with a
hammer, the laboriously remove the itty-bitty pieces.

Be sure to make use of ear, eye, nose, and throat protection. Remove all
sources of flame from the immediate area and wear steel-toed boots.


I am hoping to reuse the backsplashes and there are no visible screws
(sigh). I'm thinking about using a Dremel multimaster to try to get
some purchase at the edge and then switching to a pry bar. Wallboard is
easy to repair g.
