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

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.

Thanks so far!
Next - reading both the bags of https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-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 https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ (non slip) for metal mosaics is .......




Thanks

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

Old Mod

Isomat s AK25 John, standard set S2
Even in this weather, if you spin it up now and again, easily get 3-4hrs pot life.
Or if you want bottle and bag their one is standard set too. Megalastic I remembered. :)

......also :)
I believe Porcelanosa make a range of metal mosaic that are NOT designed to be cut, think it’s more designed to be a feature tile. Maybe worth enquiring John.

Today will decide.
@3_fall I believe these mosaics are that small that they won’t be cut.
And the best https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ available to me up in the outer ranges of tile land will be -

A few cuts to the ceiling then that wall is done.
Tomorrow a niche and grout the 1200x600 in.

Couple of pictures of the completed wall.
The joints opened up in a few places on the backing mesh and I didn’t cut any tiles!
So I mixed up some translucent epoxy with silver glitter and finger pointed into any gaps - got away with it. On top of getting paid off the builder, his customer supplied a ÂŁ50 voucher to one of our favourite eateries as a thank you!

Voucher spent on Thursday!
Now where’s my next meal coming from?
