Glass fronted mosaics - adhesive

[cornish_crofter]

I was originally looking at BAL mosaic, but I have been told that If I was careful, and didn't put too much adhesive on the walls I would get away with an ordinary SPF, like the Profix stuff or similar.

I guess the BAL mosaic is relitively scratch proof, and so would not scratch the glass - am I right?

just out of curiosity CC,are the tiles a mesh back or the paper front ones?

i would use a mosaic 4mm trowel anyway and Mapei do a product called Adesilex p10...maybe give that a try.

Mapei P9 is ok, but i would use mapei P10...much better for glass...

Dave what was the adhesive that ctd were selling for £10 and was powdered adhseive,you said you were using it?A while back.

 

[DHTiling]

P9..:yes:

 

[brian c]

Does the offer still apply or is it discontiued?

 

[DHTiling]

God knows...offers were for oct till dec havn't had an email yet to other iwse and havnt had time to go to ctd to see if it is still on offer...

It's only about £13 when not on offer anyway i think..

Thanks guys, but I can't seem to get Mapai stuff where I am, so I am looking at BAL.

You would be best to check with manufacture as some glass tiles can only be stuck with Epoxy adhesive as water effects the backing

You will have no problems with BAL Mosaic Fix Hugo.

Bal Mosaic is pricey though, I was hoping to keep the cost down.

Brian, the mosaic panels are on a paper backing.

I only pay a couple of quid more for mosaic fix than I do for white SPF.
