Hi Tilers, me again!
I need to start tackling the mosaic tiling in my bathroom but this is the first time that I'd have tiled mosaics and I have a few questions.
The mosaic tile is a natural stone AND glass mosaic on a mesh netting. THIS.
Is there any particular adhesive that I should be using for mosaic tiles? or can I continue using what I've used on the rest of the walls (NicoBond Xtra in Grey).
I've read that I may need to be careful with the colour adhesive that I use though as this may affect the colour seen in the glass of the tile but the glass tiles on these have backs to them so I can't see it being an issue.
Also, I've been using a NicoBond grout and had hoped to just use this on the mosaics too but I've been warned that I need to be careful with grouting as some grouts can scratch the mosaics - what grout do I need to watch out for and how can this be avoided?
Finally, are there any other tips and tricks to look out for that I need to be doing to avoid any terrible mistakes (and the wrath of the wife).
