Issues With Installing 9x18 Glass Tile - TilersForums.com

[Lee From Groveland]

Most mortar for glass manufacturer's say they do not support installation of glass tiles larger than either 3x3 or 6x6. The galss tile I have is 9x18. What would be the best mortar for me to use and what is the proper wall preparation - some sheetrock with wallpaper stripped off and some new sheetrock with joint compound sanded smooth. Thanks in advance for anyone who can offer guidance/help.

Sheetrock is also known as Gypsum board.

Laticrete GTA (glass tile adhesive), and no sheetrock, use wonderboard or another brand of tile backer. The glass manufacturer should have some instructions to follow.
