[QUOTE="John Wallace, post: 611130"] I'm tiling my bathroom, which is in a corner of the house with dry lining on the two outside walls. The plan is to tile all the walls floor to ceiling with white tiles (6mm thick), with a strip of glass mosaic (4mm thick) a little below eye level. As a result of some uneven plaster, and a 1 mm change in depth where I put aquapanel behind the location of the bath and shower, the row of tiles below where the mosaic strip is to go is hanging on up to 4 mm depth of tile cement. When I tried putting the glass mosaic strip in today, it was going to need up to 6mm depth of cement to mount flush with the main tiles. I found that too difficult, so abandoned the attempt, and plastered about 2 - 3 mm depth of tile cement (BAL white star premix) on the wall where the mosaic is to go, and am currently waiting for it to go off (it is still very soft after about 4 hours!). This seemed the only practical thing to do. However, if this is a really really bad idea, would someone please let me know before the cement hardens, so that I can scrape it off (provided, of course, that you can provide a better idea).
