Fired Earth Mosaics Fixing Advice

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

I've worked with these mosaics they're translucent and paper faced. Even though the sheets interlock they will need some adjustment so don't fix too many sheets at once before you take the paper off. Take your time. Use a very white adhesive.
I applied the addy with a 3mm trowel and then lightly ran a straight edge (such as a wide scraper) over it to get rid of the grooves otherwise they'll show up through the glass. Some pieces needed an extra bit of pressure so there weren't any air pockets showing.
They cut fine with a decent glass cutting blade on a grinder.

It was just a small area but took a while, theyre not easy whatever the customer says lol.
Have you specified a grout colour yet? I did a sample board with white, jasmine and a 1:1 mix of white with jasmine. The 1:1 ratio white and jasmine (ultracolour plus) looked the best.
