glass tiles

[cass]

Hi was wondering if any one could help.Done a job last year installing colored glass tiles had allot of problems cutting was told in local tile shop that i could cut with my wet cutter.However when i was cutting the couler film on back would peel and the glass tile would chip.I had quit a knew blade on my cutter and the tiles were of good quolity.I have a job to do next week using glass tile again and wondered if anybody could give me some tips

Score the colour on the back of the tile to match your cut

i fitted a lot of glass last year on a job and found my sigma dry cutter was best for cutting them, cuts close to edge i scored then nipped off. worked ok on my job anyway.

I was told that i would need to use wet cutter in local shop.So it is ok to dry cut score and snap as usal.

Just use a Rubi with a new wheel.
You don't have to score hard but I find hand snappers best.
If the back colour comes off - and its usually white - use tippex.
Make sure you use a 'white' adhesive and try not to scratch the tile face.
