    Glass mosaic fail!

    Notched trail for the adhesive is where it all went wrong. Not enough research done....... Luckily tiles were very cheap end of line. If I'd have paid the RRP I'd be extremely gutted. Think I'd be ok if I tried again with the correct tools but can't warrant the cost of the glass!

    Glass mosaic fail!

    It was onto a painted surface but the white stuff is adhesive not paint. Complete pig to get off stuck like sh** to a blanket! So much so it was splitting the glass! Won't be doing that again.

    Glass mosaic fail!

Other than it not providing as smooth a finish as grout is there any other technical reason why this would be a no go? Thanks...

    Glass mosaic fail!

    Hi, I'm looking for a bit of advice to help me salvage a DIY glass mosaic tile installation. I've done a bit of standard format wall and floor tiling in the past and always achieved a fairly decent enough finish to be satisfied with it so I have braved a glass mosaic in our new kitchen...
