Mosaic backing sheets

[AliGage]

Evening guys and girls.
Im doing a little shower room t the moment which i have to return to on Wednesday. The customer wants a border of ceramic mosaic halfway up the wall but also one at floor level like a skirt around the room.
The wall tiles are only 250x200 ceramic so not particularly heavy. But i wanted to crack on when i return on Wednesday. Has anyone used these backing sheets for mosaic sheets? We got the mosaic fairly cheap and some are a bit tatty on The mesh. Was thinking of trying these backers out to one get them back in some sort of workable order but also so i can maybe get a few rows of tiles on The wall as well rather than battening and putting mosaic in later or waiting for adhesive to harden before i carry on.
Any thoughts?

Personally I wait for the main field of tiles to set then add the mosaic....

I usually put my mosaics in after as well. But was trying to avoid it being fiddly afterwards being right down at floor level.
Have you ever used these backers/packers before whitebeam?

Never used them Ali but a few guys do, if works for you then go for it mate....

They seem to be a bit expensive though.
Think ill batten as normal and see how tricky getting the mosaics in becomes.

Do you use the dog tooth for thinner mosaic to the field tiles....
