I have discovered a batch of mosaics I got off a job 15 years ago, limestone 10mm x10x 10 in sheet form paper across , the paper has gone so I have two tubs of squares , I bought the Gemini mosiac plastic 300x300 sticky sheets and have been sticking these cubes to these for the last few days, 21 sheets. ( am loosing the will to live) but they are free, wife mentioned something about me being tight!! These tiles are going on the back wall of a small shower I'm putting in. Contract board and all tanked.
Plastic mesh 2-3 mm deep and the tile 10mm , have a rapid white, what knotch trowel should I use ?
Cheers Bob

Think your wife is right.... They always THINK they are.
Not tried the sheets, how much tile is likely to be in contact with the https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/?
You will need a notch large enough to get a good cover on tile but hopefully not come though the joint. I would be looking at a 8mm as a starting point.
Good luck ;)
May see you on the 4th Dec, if spaces left.

Personally on 10mmx10mm mosaic on those sheets I would opt for 6mm. The https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ tends not to come through the joints so much using the backing sheets. I certainly wouldn't start at 8mm....it's easier to apply more https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ than remove it

Cheers guys I will have a play, 9,000 000 trade days mean I have a full set of old trowel , but this makes for more confusion.

Have already spilt and weighed my https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ into quarters , so can work small batches
Will be taking this slow.
I am impressed with these plastic sheets perfect for a novice like me and they are fairly solid so should be ok, won't speak to soon

Thanks for advice, will have first go , poss Tom as working in town today , let you know how I get on. Cheers bob
