These are from Porcelanosa
What blade in my grinder to cut them?

This one worked well for me

Agreed, I've always used a continuous rim blade on anything metal mosaic. Are they just metal capped @timeless john ?

 

[Time's Ran Out]

No - solid bits of metal on a mesh background - all different thickness.
Tried one before I left the job today with a great porcelain blade. Hardly scratched the surface and the piece came off the mesh. When I picked it up it was very, very hot for a couple of minutes. They are so small ( like the old 1/2p piece that I may end up just grouting the edge in! Only half a piece shows at any edge.

I have some Marcrist 850 Inox blades which are great for all metal tiles

Thanks so far!
Next - reading both the bags of adhesive Porcelanosa have supplied for this job Blutech One-flex+ and Blutech Super-one neither are suitable for metal.
So no metal mosaic today!
Fitting their Butech anti cracking mat for 43m2 of more planks instead.
So your preferred adhesive (non slip) for metal mosaics is .......




Thanks

Mapei Keraquick with latex for me

Kerakoll biogel is probably a good bet, not sure if no limits is suitable ? If not there 'extreme'. A 1mm or .8mm metal cut off disc will make light work of it although if it's aluminium it will burr a lot. High heat build up with risk of discoloration

Extreme is written, metal tiles.
Biogel he wrote only metal supports
