As above which type of adhesive would you suggest for fitting some Fired Earth Malacassa glacier brick glass tiles above an Aga?
From a heat resistant point of view and from a fitting point of view(I guess these tiles will be 6mm paper faced opaque glass and quite brittle and won't be able to go at it like a bull in a china shop)????
 
Topps do a heat resistant adhesive that comes in a tub, two bags of powder inside and you just mix it with water.
I did a fireplace a couple of weeks ago where a log burner was to be fitted, not bad to work with but don't mix loads up at once as it is a rapid set.

Don't know if anyone else on here has used it - but it says it's resistant to 200c so we will see.
 
Right,so cement it is then.
I just thought with the tiles being fragile it might have been easier to ease them back into White Star than a cement based adh.

Just make sure if they're translucent at all to use white adhesive,
Bal's Max Flex Fibre is a good mosaic adhesive
