i tiled my wet room tray with small mosaic tiles. trouble is i used an 8mm notched trowel and now realise i should have used a 3/4mm. the adhesive i used is mapei keraquick in white. some of the adhesive came through the gaps in areas so i wiped the surface down. is this going to be a problem? the grout will be the same colour as the adhesive

It will show through, you need to clean the joints out...

For future reference don't use a trowel thickness great than half the tile thickness to prevent squash through..:thumbsup:

as dave as all ready said you will need to clean joints out white grout will stand out like a sore thumb with the white tile adhesive
