    Adhesive and sealer for mosaic tiles.

    One more thing.... NEVER BLOB TILES. Also called dotting and dabbing..... it leaves to many voids for moisture to travel behind. In wet area you must have 100% even coverage of adhesive in wet areas, minimum 70%even coverage in dry areas. For the main tiles, use a 6x6mm square notch trowel...

    I've layed 3.5mm plywood instead of 12mm. How can I rectify this?

    The ply has to be a MINIMUM 15mm WBP overlay. To brace the floor from bounce you could also use 12mm Hardibacker, 10mm Marmox Multi Board. Ditra matting will not take the flex out of the floor. It is a de-coupling membrane to prevent cracks from lateral movement, not vertical. So not necessary...

    White haze on black splitface tiles

    Don't grout Splitface. The tiles are butted so grout will just make a mess as it can't be done. They are not designed to be grouted. From looking at the pic, you have used a white adhesive.
